| Abstract | Over the last four years at Union College, the authors and their colleagues have developed a successful peer-mentoring program called Peer Assistants for Learning (PALs). Students are faced with many stressors and need help in addressing issues that may be troubling them, many of which are not academic issues. Students may perceive that faculty advising is only concerned with course advice and registration signatures. In addition, many faculty members may be uncomfortable when the conversation leaves the academic realm. This advising gap--the gap between student needs and the type of mentoring they receive--has garnered much attention and discussion. This article discusses how staff at the Union College helped bridge the advising gap through their peer-mentoring program. They use their weekly PALs meetings and individual case reports, as well as monitoring of e-mail contacts and workshop attendance and evaluations to gauge the success of the program which in turn resulted to some significant success stories.
