Abstract

Early intervention is often the key to freshman student success; however, it is often hard to uncover freshman students’ problems and difficulties until it is too late to help them adjust time schedules, develop stronger study habits, or create more balanced life-styles (DeBerard 66). The tool used in this program, the integration model (see fig. 1), shows promise for providing direction for early intervention efforts. This study explores whether this tool enables peer mentors to uncover student problems.
