CAFNR spoke with Deaton Scholar Director and DASS grad student Rishabh Mahendra in celebration of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. See the Q&A with Rishabh on CAFNR’s site, to learn more about his heritage, as well as his field of study and career plans.
The peer-mentoring program, COMPASS (CAFNR’s Opportunity for Minorities: Promoting and Achieving Student Success), promotes academic success, persistence, and successful graduation of participating students. The program matches incoming historically underrepresented freshmen and transfer students with returning students who will serve as their mentors for an 8-week formal program to help students meet their educational goals. The next COMPASS class begins this fall, and we encourage you to share this opportunity with your students. For more information on COMPASS, contact Dr. Samniqueka Halsey at samniquekahalsey@missouri.edu.
