MAP Programs

Minority Advising Programs have been designed to:

• involve more minority students in the cognitive components of the program.
• Involve MAP alumni in the current program.
• Involve more majority faculty, administrators, and staff in the program.
• Increase the use of tutoring opportunities.
• Provide advisement to insure graduation.
• Provide advisement to insure transfer to baccalaureate degree granting institutions.
• Provide activities to increase community awareness of MAP activities at Waycross College.
• Recruit minority students.

Waycross College's Minority Advising Program sees serving its students and the community as its mission. Activities are designed to serve college students, public school students in its service area, and to serve the community-at-large.

For college students, Waycross College has additional programs already in place to insure the academic success of all students. Minority students also participated in the programs which include:

• Early alert/warning academic counseling;
• Personal counseling;
• Suspension/readmit counseling;
• WAYC 1101 Step to Student Success class,
• SGA social activities;
• Peer counseling;
• Follow-up of dropouts.

The Minority Advising Program has expanded these programs to include peer tutoring which has been identified as the most beneficial component of the MAP program.

The Academic Support Center also provides group peer tutoring sessions for all students. As part of the Early Warning System, faculty members identify students who are experiencing problems in their classes to the MAP coordinator. These students are contacted and offered free, one-on-one tutoring. On an average, eleven students were tutored each quarter through the MAP tutoring component. Students in both Developmental Studies and Arts and Sciences can be tutored through the Peer Tutoring Component of the Minority Advising Program.

For additional information about any MAP program, please contact Mrs. Angela Holland-Wasdin.
