Listen "Why do we mentor?"
Episode Synopsis
One-on-one pairings with a faculty member for four years... Nope, this isn’t a PhD program - it’s undergrad! In fact, it’s one of the most important things we do here in the Torrey Honors College. What’s our philosophy of academic mentorship, and why do we dedicate so much time and thought to this part of our students’ education? Two mentors (Dr. Paul Spears and Dr. Fred Sanders) and an old mentee (Ellie Martin) discuss! Hosted by: Ellie Martin, Dr. Paul Spears, and Dr. Fred SandersExecutive Producer: Ellie MartinEditor and Producer: Timothy House----------Torrey Honors College is the undergraduate honors program at Biola University. We bring together students with different backgrounds from all over the world in pursuit of a common goal. At Torrey Honors, students read deeply from some of the best books ever written. They gather with close friends to spend hundreds of hours in discussion, searching out answers to big questions together — all while guided by a faculty mentor. And when they graduate, students enter a community dedicated to lifelong learning and pursuing Christ both personally and vocationally.Learn more at https://www.biola.edu/torrey
