The HUHC Faculty mentor program helps us to grow as a community by broadening and deepending relationships among students and their faculty. Faculty Mentors sponsor informal cultural and intellectual events like New York City trips to the theater, museums, and historical sights. They also lead students in purely fun activities such as Mets and Yankees games, ocean kayaking, apple picking, and hiking. Finally, our Faculty Mentors are liaisons and co-leaders in a variety of social service programs such as tutoring in local schools or working with a nearby food bank and shelter. In these ways HUHC students often discover new things about themselves while meeting others with whom they share common interests and passions.
HUHC Faculty Mentors serve all HUHC students. They hold hours in the lounges of our residential complex (Liberty/Republic) as well as in and around the HUHC offices where they engage in informal conversations, provide academic advice and occasionally academic instruction. We foster these forms of informal contact with faculty because we know that students learn better when they see their faculty as partners in the learning process. By expanding HUHC student access to faculty outside the classroom we extend the learning process in new and exciting ways.
