The Faculty Mentor Committee, an ad hoc committee, came into being during the fall semester of 2015. The Mentors and our Office are partners in helping each other, other faculty and staff, and Pierpont students. Counseling & Disability Services Resource Mentors are in a unique situation of being able to educate colleagues and students about mental health concerns and disabilities. Mentors are often visible and active campus community members who have the power to influence what and how colleagues and students think about others. They have a broad view of the services and supports available within our campus community and provide colleagues, as well as students, with information, resources, and referral information when necessary. Mentors play a vital role in being the link among their own departments and the Office of Counseling & Disability Services on campus by developing connections between faculty and staff, and by providing colleagues and students with accurate information. Counseling & Disability Services Resource Mentors serve as role models by accepting, including, and accommodating students who have disabilities or mental health concerns.
