For the month of October, the
Business LLC residents are finally finding their place on campus. My name is Tabby and I am one of the peer
mentors for the Business LLC. My business
section meets every Friday for class and it is my job to meet with them outside
of the classroom as well. I require all
of my mentees in the Friday business discussion to meet with me one on
one. During this part of the season,
midterms are pretty serious for a lot of the new students, but at the same
time, students are feeling more comfortable.
One of
the events that has happened this semester on the floors was a Jeopardy night
in relation to the upcoming election.
Shela, one of the RA’s helped to market this event and some of the
residents attended. For business
students, the upcoming election is a big deal!
Thankfully, many of the residents are now registered to vote in
Milwaukee as well.
As the
month is coming to an end, the students are preparing for their business test
that is coming up. Luckily, their TA is
very helpful and has planned a review day during discussion. I, as their Peer Mentor, have organized
future study sessions for students to attend. These sessions are optional, but
could be helpful. In addition to
preparing for exams and connecting with each other on the floor, the students
have all been connecting with their service learning components of their class.
The
service learning component of this course is valued not only by me, but also by
Professor Friemark. Service Learning in
Milwaukee is so important for students to connect with the city, especially is
they originally come from farther away. To help the Business students
accomplish their Service Learning goal of ten hours, I have started a “Make a
Difference Day” team for our class.
Students in Business 100 will go out into the residential community on
November 5th to participate in neighborhood clean-ups, meet the
neighbors, and make a difference.
Thank you for reading! I can’t wait to share pictures on how our “Make a Difference Day” goes!
Best,
Tabby Miller, Peer Mentor
