4 Program Information This document provides you with information about the program expectations for LSAMP. It will include important program details, schedule (dates/times), attendance requirements, rationale for programming, and resources to assist you with navigating the LSAMP program. It is designed to provide you with a transformational experience to succeed in a STEM degree at Ohio State University through social, academic, and professional integration. Attendance Students are expected to attend all required events indicated for their academic rank. These are listed on the programming tables. Students are encouraged to attend other programs that match their interests. Attendance in the required events influences your scholarship; therefore, you must contact the Program Coordinator prior to the event if you are unable to attend. The Program Coordinator may require you to participate in a similar event. The purpose of LSAMP programming is to increase the persistence and attainment of STEM degrees by individuals. Therefore, please contact the Program Coordinator if you have already attended a similar event or if the program does not support your academic, personal, or professional goals. The Program Coordinator will work with you individually to develop opportunities that will allow you to participate in meaningful programming. Scholarship/Stipend The level of your scholarship/stipend is affected by your participation in required LSAMP programming, such as tutoring or supplemental instruction, peer mentoring, and facultymentored undergraduate research. Your required programming is tailored to your academic rank. Freshmen and sophomores receive $ at the end of each fall and spring semester. Juniors and seniors receive $ at the end of each fall and spring semester. 3

The mentees (first- and second-year students) will be required to participate in activities with their mentors (third- and fourth-year students) designed to transition students socially and academically into the Ohio State University community, but also into the STEM fields and the cultural spirit throughout all communities. Mentor-Mentee Matching The Program Coordinator will match students based on major and academic interest. For the academic year, only first-year students will receive mentoring due to an absence of a senior class to meet with second-year students. The Program Coordinator will meet with secondyear students to provide success coaching in lieu of the peer mentoring during the academic year. Both mentors and mentees will be notified of the match by the second week of fall semester. Mentee Requirements The mentee is responsible for maintaining open channels of communication with their mentor. Mentees are encouraged to reach out to their mentor outside of LSAMP programs and meetings with their mentor.
