While academic advisors strongly encourage incoming freshmen to take the course during their first UA Little Rock semester, other students enroll in the course in subsequent semesters due to first semester schedule conflicts, failing the course during the incoming freshmen semester, or realizing that the course is a graduation requirement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

experiences and professional expertise that perfectly aligns with the needs of PEAW students. Having navigated a similar academic journey myself, I understand the challenges and uncertainties that can arise during self-discovery, major selection, and career exploration. My background in college counseling equips me with the tools to provide tailored guidance, ensuring students not only explore their options but gain deep insights into their own strengths and passions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"166\" height=\"180\" src=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/firstyear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/08\/Pic-Dawn-Summons-Frame.png\" alt=\"Dawn Summons\" class=\"wp-image-610\" style=\"width:187px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dawn Summons | Junior | Special Education<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a PAL Mentor, my experience and wisdom as an adult student can offer insights to aid new students on their college journey. I can also offer personalized guidance, support, and encouragement. The inspiration I will give new students is to do goal setting and always have a current daily schedule that breaks down classes, study time, and free time, along with looking for college resources that will benefit their college life. Students deserve me as a PAL Mentor for transitional support, personal growth, academic success, and career readiness. By fostering a supportive and encouraging relationship, I can significantly impact the college experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tierra Whitaker | Senior | Civil Engineering<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"157\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/ualr.edu\/firstyear\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/40\/2023\/08\/Pic-Tierra-Whitaker-FA23-PAL-Mentor-Frame.png\" alt=\"Tierra Whitaker\" class=\"wp-image-594\" style=\"width:186px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>“Go out and live a transformed life.” Those are the words of Michael Todd. It is not just a    phrase, but a principle that I hope to guide you to. There are a million obstacles in college that you will face. Some will be easy, others will be challenging. Fortunately, my role as a mentor is to help and push you through each moment so you can reach your full potential. I will always be sure to be transparent and open no matter the circumstances. The world is constantly evolving, and the school system is with it. Let’s work together to ensure that the college system does not conform us, but transforms us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are PAL Mentors?

Our first-year PEAW (PErsonal AWareness) course helps you learn about the UA Little Rock campus, offers study strategies, and guides you through self, major and career exploration. Check out what some students are saying about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jillian Langley talks about how the class has prepared her for what’s ahead:<\/strong><br>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qYv6ICUmlR0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jill Cates recommends the PEAW course for incoming freshmen:<\/strong><br>\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=4JHaC_lsJJ8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Gavin Kelly says he learned a lot about being a successful student:<\/strong><br> https:\/\/youtu.be\/Tb06R6Ve2bo<br> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What other students are saying:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“PEAW 1300 has been one of the best courses I’ve ever had the opportunity to attend. This course not only allowed me to step out of my comfort zone but also find a way in school which I’ll forever be grateful for and I can’t wait to see what next semester has to offer.” \u2013 Miracle Johnson<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“This course encouraged me to continue with pursuing my higher education. With the information in the course I know that I will go on to be a master student. I learned things about myself and life that without this course I’d either have to learn on my own or learn too late. I’m very appreciative of this course and all that it entailed.” \u2013 Jordan Bell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“I really enjoyed this class, I loved you as a professor, you were definitely my favorite that I have had. I will miss you and your class, and I loved the other students in this class. We were very much a community in this class and I made some friends. I felt like the topics we talked about helped me in becoming a better student and I think they really helped me do well in my classes.” \u2013 Shelby Lovell<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“I have learned so many new techniques and strategies in this class. I’ve made friends, i’ve connected with teachers, and most importantly learned more about myself that will help me grow into the person that I need to be successful in life.” \u2013 Jaelynn Carter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“I’ve enjoyed my time in this class overall, even though I came in with the mindset of “I don’t need this, why am I here” While i don’t think I learned as much as other students did since I’m not really the intended recipient, I did enjoy you as a professor and i can tell you really care about the students and want whatever is best for them.” \u2013 Brianna Jones<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>“I have learned how to navigate the campus very well to where I am in every class and in the right class. I have also learned a little about time management even though I still have a lot to work on. I’ve learned how to budget myself when I receive a paycheck. Overall this class has helped me improve.” \u2013 Deontavia Edwards<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>College can be fun and challenging.
