This work introduces methods that aid in freshman retention (in the
transition from high school and to remain in the university of
origin) and orient them towards a successful career in science.
Specific examples of successful approaches are given as well as
detailed plans for how to engage these students. Pitfalls as well
as success are described. In addition this work provides a detailed
description of how to develop the students into a cohort that
exhibits comradery. Three types of cohort form, those within the
freshman class, those among the upperclassmen and those between the
freshmen and upperclassmen. The program works because the social
reality is that the peer mentor has a better repertoire with the
first semester freshmen than the faculty or staff and assists with
student success. Factors such as financial aid, policy, and support
systems influence student success. In the sciences, students often
struggle with the content and adjusting to the college experience.
Research states that a mentorship program supports retention as
well as enhances the student experience during college. This
program creates a cohort group among the upperclassmen mentors and
freshmen and provides leadership development for all involved.
