Bennett Upgrades Students
P araprofessional Advising
Greensboro — During the
last several years Bennett
College has placed much at
tention on providing more ef
fective academic advising and
counseling for students.
One of the mo6t successful
aspects of the college's Fresh
man Studies Program has
been the involvement of quali
fied students in the advising of
first year students.
Miss Dorothy Harris, direc
tor of Freshman Studies and
Academic Support, noted that
peer counseling is not a new
concept at the women's col
lege. Students have counseled
in the residence halls for a
number of years.
“Since 1975, our peer advis
ing program has developed as
a direct consequence of in
creasing demands for counsel
ing services, tutoring and
from recognizing the need for
more professionally trained
personnel,” she stated.
"It makes individualized at
tention more of a reality in the
academic scene.” Based on
the popularity and effective
ness of the program, the Col
lege recognized the need to
expand the service beyond the
registration period and the
first year orientation pro
gram.
The National Division of the
Board of Global Ministries of
the United Methodist Church
has awarded the program a
grant of $10,000 to assist in
training a select group of
upperclass students for peer
academic advising
A training institute will
cus on helping college stu
dents to plan their study and
leisure time, to perform suc
cessfully on examinations, to
form more effective study
habits, to write scholarly pa
pers and to coordinate their
academic schedules
‘‘This part of our total col
lege aims to help each Bennett
student take control of her
education and personal deve
lopment at the beginning of
her college experience," Miss
Harris added
She said the advising pro
gram is modeled on the "cell
unit concept Each cell in
cludes a student paraprofes
sional adviser and twelve stu
dents The director of the
program and a faculty associ
ate supervise each group
While the program gene
rates a more professional atti
tude among the peer advisers,
it's more significant that stu
dents seem to find it easier to
reach out to their peers for
that first initial contact." Miss
Harris concluded

QUESTION:
Why do Trichologist and
stylist test each custo
mer’s hair before giving
a dye or chemical treat
ment?
ANSWER:
Each person has a diffe
rent skin type, a diffe
rent strength of hair, a
different texture of hair.
They’ve previously done
different things to their
hair and skin. They
have various physiologi
cal reactions to diffe
rent food stuffs and even
simple chemicals. Each
tests is designed to alert
or minimize the risk of
any procedure. Chemi
cals such as drugs, syn
thetic vitamins or even
alcohol have certain ef
fects on hair skin and its
treatment. The Pall and
Winter hair styles are
out. Be sure to see what
your designer can do
with you for fall.
