Abstract


Tutors, mentors, and other peer leaders on a college campus spend more time with students in distress than administrators do. As such, they are able to glean more about the students' challenges and often a more honest revelation of the struggles a student is facing. This article will review academic support programs (such as tutoring) and how they respond to outliers or students that require more support than their current program structure offers. This presentation will provide tips for successfully adapting support for Undergraduate college students and provide a basis for further work and research.
