students at Title IV institutions (Pell Grantparticipating institutions) fails to complete a degree within 6 years, representing a major concernfor student, parents, and the institutions themselves [3]. This level of failure is particularlytroubling in light of the cost of post-secondary education. In the domains of Science,Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), there is also concern that significantattrition can negatively impact American global competitiveness in these fields [4].One way that institutions have addressed student attrition is to provide summer bridge programsfor matriculating first-year students, particularly directly toward those who might be at risk fordropping out [5].

As is typical due to the degreeprograms offered at SPSU, over half of the students in the test section were Engineering orEngineering Technology majors.The course setup for the test section was typical for Calculus I courses at SPSU. Thirty-fivestudents were enrolled in the course. The class met four days per week for 50 minutes. Theformat of the class was primarily lecture, with active learning activities interspersed throughoutthe semester. The students were given four exams during the semester and a cumulative finalexam. Announced quizzes on homework problems were given approximately once per week,and unannounced homework checks

toseveral potential explanations for why individuals decide to mentor, including self-enhancement[5], [6] or the fulfillment of personal values [7], [8] such as altruism [9]. Self-efficacy andconfidence also have been related to whether mentors persisted in their relationships [10].Furthermore, mentoring also has been described as having improved mentors' personal (e.g.,organization) and leadership skills [11]. However, this research is limited and often specific toparticular mentoring programs.We know relatively little about why people decide to mentor in the context of science,technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning specifically.
