GREAT WAY TO GET TO KNOW A FACULTY WHO MAYBE CAN WRITE YOU A RECOMMENDATION LETTER FOR APPLYING TO UPPER DIVISION SEQUENCE!!!

Students Helping Nursing Educators (SHINE) is a volunteer program for PRE-NURSING STUDENTS designed to facilitate greater faculty/student interaction. Participating is a good way to meet faculty, learn about the School, and gain insight into nursing education and research.

A SHINE student volunteer agrees to work one to two hours per week for an assigned faculty member for at least one semester. Tasks vary but may range from filing and organizing materials to doing literature searches and data coding. Applications and detailed guidelines for SHINE are available during the first week of classes. All SHINE announcements will be made e-mail.

Visit Learning Enchancement Services (LES) SHINE volunteer information site for more information and for general guidelines.

Type: Mentoring

Area: UT School of Nursing

Requirements/Other: Must have attended UT for at least 1 semester

The Peer Mentor Program is designed to help new nursing students successfully adjust to UT & to create a sense of community at the School of Nursing. Peers mentors provide guidance and support for nursing students in their first semester at UT. Any nursing or prenursing student that has attended UT for at least one semester is eligible to become a peer mentor.

As a peer mentor, you will be required to participate in the Fall/Spring Gathering (depending on which semester you volunteer), an annual informal welcome program for new and transfer nursing students. You will also be expected to contact your mentees via e-mail at 3 points during the semester.
