Prof. Ferguson’s work as a faculty mentor in the Illinois Promise program was featured in an article in Inside Illinois 34 (3) (Aug 7, 2014). The Illinois Promise (I-Promise) program provides full scholarships to high-achieving first generation college students from Illinois, and offers voluntary peer or adult mentoring with a program alum or member of the Illinois community to support the transition to college and promote academic and personal success. Illinois faculty, staff, or retirees interested in serving as I-Promise mentors should contact the program director Susan Gershenfeld (sgershen@illinois.edu).
