Sophomore Academic Mentoring (SAM) Program

Welcome

The SAM program assists second year students in reaching their academic goals by being mentored and guided by UTPA junior and senior students. Junior and senior mentors serve as “voices of experience” in order to support sophomore students in successfully completing their second year in college. Please read through our content within the site to get a better understanding of what our program offers. If you have any questions please address them via the contacts below. Thank you.

Leading the Way for Sophomores

The Division of Academic Affairs is celebrating the first year success of URAP's Sophomore Academic Mentoring (SAM) Program. Now in its second year, the SAM Program has expanded with mentors (junior and senior students) each guiding 17 sophomore protégés within their college. As role models, Mentors not only offer academic encouragement and guidance, but they also encourage their protégés to join them at social and athletic events on campus. To enhance their knowledge of the educational process at UTPA, mentors attend presentations sponsored by various campus departments and receive training by their Student Development Specialist supervisors.
