Academic Success
Meet the Peer Academic Mentors
The Peer Academic Mentors (PAMs) are upper-level students who work to provide academic counseling to those wishing to enhance their study skills as well as those who are struggling academically.
What We Do
Mentors are a source of academic support for fellow students throughout their time at SU. We work with students to develop effective study skills and strategies on an individual basis, design and facilitate academic skills workshops, aid students in the registration process, introduce students to academic support services, and guide students through short- and long-term planning.
Been there, done that:
The best thing about Peer Mentors is that we’re students just like you! As upper-level students we have experiences both in and out of the classroom that directly relate to whatever you are struggling with. We welcome your questions and concerns, and we will do everything we can to get you the help you need!
Who we are:

Davin Ratliff Hi! My name is Davin Ratliff and I am from Brandon, MS. Here at Southwestern I am a Peer Academic Mentor, a Pirate Host, a Student Activities employee, and I am also apart of the football team as well. Some advice I would give incoming Southwestern students would be to never be scared to ask for help. A fun fact about is that I did a little theater as a kid. |

James Yun An enthusiastic hello from James, hailing all the way from Killeen, TX! As a Peer Academic Mentor at Southwestern, I’m thrilled to encounter fresh faces, uplift those in need, and create a cozy atmosphere where fear has no place! In addition, I’m rocking the premed track, soaring as a Biology Education Teacher Assistant (BETA), and harmonizing pure magic with the SU orchestra. Although I have found my academic path, let us find your exhilarating journey filled with endless possibilities! |
