Center for Academic Excellence

Hello, my name is Alysia DeJesus. I am a sophomore Psychology major at UNCP. I chose to come to UNCP because I like the small hometown and the southern hospitality. I am a mentor so that I can work with and help students on their path here at UNCP. I am a very open minded person and I love to just sit down and talk. So just stop by and visit me if you need anything or just need to talk. I am always ready for a good conversation!

Hi, my name is Brittney, and I am a sophomore majoring in Mass Communications. I chose to attend the University of North Carolina at Pembroke because I enjoy the small class environment and the opportunity to have more of an educational relationship with the faculty.  I took the position as a mentor so that I could help students with their journey on our campus, and to help them achieve their academic goals. I am happy to help anyone that needs help, so please do not hesitate to come by and see me.

Greetings, my name is Latif Darden and I am a senior student pursuing a major in political science, concentration in international studies, and a minor in terrorism studies. I have chosen to become an academic mentor because I firmly believe that academic success is transferable if we learn to maximize our potential.  While promoting self responsibility and self direction, I am strongly committed to listening, providing constructive criticism, and safeguarding the interests of all students. Together, we will employ the best solutions to go over the top both academically and socially. I look forward to working with you.

Hi, my name is Megan, and I am a junior majoring in business marketing with a minor in public relations. I am the secretary of PRSSA (Public Relations Student Society of America), as well as a member of the National Honor Society of Leadership and Success. I am from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and understand that transitioning into the college atmosphere is not always easy. As a mentor I enjoy assisting others and hope to implement positive energy, as well as assist students to create success here at UNCP. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to stop by and visit me!
