Tri-C plans to partner with Hiram College on student mentorship program

June 09, 2017

Wooden cutout of man climbing steps, with hand sliding top step into placeCuyahoga Community College is planning to partner with Hiram College on a pilot student mentorship program, aimed at encouraging community college students to continue their education at four-year schools.

The Mentorship for Student Excellence program would encourage the completion of four-year degrees through peer-to-peer mentorship of successful community college students. The goal of the program would be to determine whether peer mentorship can play a role in improving academic achievement, economic efficiency and degree completion for students who progress from a two-year school to a four-year school.

Hiram College received a $680,000 monetary award from the Ohio Department of Higher Education to help spearhead the pilot program, which would pair a mentor student from Hiram with a mentee from Tri-C.

The money was awarded to Hiram as part of the Ohio Department of Higher Education’s Innovation Program Awards, which were announced on Friday.
