Winter Institute mentors are integral to the success of the Institute. These individuals, recognized leaders in the field of learning assistance, not only provide individual and group mentoring and consultation, but also participate as active learners throughout the Institute.

Mentors begin each day's program with an orientation and overview meeting during breakfast, continue with daily informal meetings, and conclude each day's activities with a feedback session. Many will also deliver major presentations at the Institute's General Sessions with a small group follow-up of participants interested in continuing a discussion with the mentor on her/his presentation.

Listed below are the learning assistance professionals presenting and mentoring at the 1998 Winter Institute.  Links to their photos and short biographical sketches are available as indicated.
