Abstract
Student persistence is important for students, faculty and universities. The online learning environment is increasingly a choice for more undergraduate students and finding ways to increase persistence and graduation is crucial. Studies indicate that persistence and completion can be increased with the use of faculty mentors (Long et al., 2010; U.S. Department of Education, 2016). Faculty mentors can strengthen connections and relationships with undergraduate students and it is important to ask for and evaluate these student perceptions. The presenters will share their mixed methods study that explored how undergraduate students at PG viewed both their experiences with faculty mentoring in the online environment and the potential of a faculty mentor. The presenters will share findings on the perceptions and experiences of four undergraduate student mentees with their faculty mentor, share survey data to guide future mentoring program considerations, and provide the process of one department's faculty mentoring initiative.
