2026-2027 Floor Mentor EPSY TA Application

The Learning Community (LC) EPSY Teaching Assistants (TA) will engage Floor Mentors as they navigate their mentoring experience.

TAs will act as a resource and positive role model to Floor Mentors and work collaboratively with the other TAs and Instructors to facilitate the learning outcomes of the Floor Mentor EPSY Course. In addition, TAs will utilize consistent verbal and written communication skills to ensure a seamless flow of information between TAs and Instructors and the Floor Mentors, bringing key concerns or themes to the leadership team for consideration and discussion. TAs will be enrolled in a 3-credit EPSY 3090 course which will meet on Mondays from 2:30-3:30pm in the fall semester of their service. They will also attend the Floor Mentor EPSY 3040 course on Wednesdays and Fridays from 2:30-3:20pm.
