Minority Student Mentoring Initiative (MSMI)

Alias: Male Minority Mentoring Program  

Summary

MSMI is a student success initiative focusing to provide minority students with a support system designed to improve their success in coursework and completion.  It is a voluntary program for student mentees and College personnel working as mentors. 

Data associated with MSMI allows comparative assessment of student performance between participant and non-participant students, as well as before-and-after assessment for student mentees. 

Data Model

Data must reflect distinct membership for both mentees and mentors and track the academic terms of active participation.  Student and staff records are associated with the Campus Organization Code MMMP (a legacy from the initiative’s original name).  Records encompass a Start Date, End Date, and Role.

   1. Both students and mentors are added this way.
   2. If you do not know the ID of the student, you can perform a name search in the entry field.
2. Enter the Start Date.  This is equal to the semester start date (you can locate these in the academic calendar, located at www.mc3.edu/academics/academic-calendar )
