The Martel Society of Academic Mentors is an honorary service organization dedicated to advancing the academic life of the college. Mentors provide free academic assistance to their peers. They organize study groups, hold review sessions, and provide one-on-one peer tutoring. As a group, Mentors also organize speakers, symposia, and other events to promote a positive educational and intellectual environment within the college. They deliver workshops on time management, note taking, study skills, and exam preparation as well as matters related to navigating academic life at Rice. Additionally, Mentors participate in campus-wide meetings to collaborate and share resources with Academic Fellows and Mentors from other residential colleges. They also attend tutor seminars to enhance their teaching and learning strategies. Mentors are selected based on academic achievement and college citizenship.
