Job Description

UVA Athletics Academic Affairs seeks a diverse candidate pool of Academic Mentors for the Spring 2024 semester to support student-athletes in building essential skills to achieve academic success. Qualified applicants will become a member of the Cavalier Academic Support Services (CASS).

Academic Mentors meet with their assigned student(s) on a regular schedule (two to four times a week; however, this can vary) to develop weekly comprehensive academic tasks and enhance basic study skills techniques such as organization, reading, time management, note-taking, working with faculty, etc.

Academic Mentors receive training from the Academic Affairs staff on the CASS framework for mentoring sessions, academic task development, and support strategies specific to course curriculum.

Areas of student support include, but are not limited to, reading material, preparing for exams, preparing for written assignments, and preparing for discussion sections. Academic mentors will be asked to work with individuals from a broad range of backgrounds and to build a strong mentor/mentee relationship with student-athletes. Focus during a mentoring session is placed on teaching skills which are directly applicable to current assignments, yet also relevant to future coursework.
