Faculty Mentors

At Baylor, the critical role faculty play in the lives of students is a hallmark of our institution.  By formalizing these key relationships through the role of Faculty Mentor, we hope Navigate can support these faculty as they to continue to promote student success.  Academic advisors are firmly committed to students connecting to faculty mentors across disciplines. This list is aimed to help advisors and students know which faculty members are eager to meet with students interested in their academic program(s).
