Recommendation
We think Peter's video summary provides an accessible peek into the co-authored book Relationship-Rich Education: How Human Connections Drive Success in College. "It's about people."
"Connections students form with their peers, with faculty, with staff, really drive motivation to learn. So if we want motivated students, we want students working hard in their learning, relationships are a powerful tool for that."
"What students need is not a single mentor but what we call a constellation of mentors -- a network of peers, faculty, and staff who can support them in different ways, challenge them in different ways."
