    Respecting, Influencing, Supporting, and Empowering Underrepresented Populations (R.I.S.E. U.P.)
    Amal, Tommy (Virginia Tech, 2014-05)
    Respecting, Influencing, Supporting, and Empowering Underrepresented Populations (R.I.S.E. U.P.) provides holistic support for underrepresented students through peer mentorship. Many undergraduate underrepresented students underperform academically and suffer from feelings of inferiority and exclusion from campus. To serve this population, R.I.S.E. U.P. consists of: mentor training facilitator’s guide with visuals, mentor training manual and evaluation protocol and instruments. To assess the materials, a panel of student affairs experts and research professors reviewed, assessed and provided in- depth feedback. To assess the evaluation protocol and instruments, and evaluation expert reviewed, assessed and provided feedback on the materials. All feedback will be incorporated in the project before its dissemination.
