LAMP (Leadership and Academic Mentorship Program)

First Year

In their first year of participation in the program, LAMP Trainees work as Resource Representatives at the check-in desk of the Peer Learning Commons (PLC), and participate in weekly trainings covering learning strategies, campus resources and opportunities, student wellness, and group leadership. As a part of this year, LAMP Trainees receive robust support in identifying and applying for paid positions across campus where they can support their peers in subsequent years. Many continue to work within SASC as Peer Tutors for Learning Strategies as well as other subjects they are able to support; many also go on to other positions in other programs, such as Residential Life and the Student Center for Belonging and Community.

Subsequent Years

Students who have completed the first year of the program are LAMP Fellows, signifying their capacity to serve as a mentor to their peers, and to connect them to the campus resources best able to support them. In addition to their work in roles across campus where they are in a position to support their peers, LAMP Fellows also meet regularly as a group with SASC Professional Staff to discuss their experiences doing this work, and to dig deeper into specific learning strategies and leadership skills which are valuable as a Bates student. LAMP Fellows also participate in designing and facilitating a variety of workshops for classes and student groups across campus.

Please see the section below for more information about LAMP Workshops.

These workshops can be presented by LAMP Fellows or SASC Professional Staff, and cover fundamental skills and resources students can use to create their own success here at Bates! We have designed several that can be easily customized to meet the needs of your group, or we can create a new workshop if there’s a need that none of the already created workshops will meet.
