IUP Guides: Someone to Turn To

Last fall, IUP launched its Guides program, assigning all new students—and others, by request—to faculty and staff members who could answer their questions and connect them with the right resources. Nearly a full school year into this effort, students and Guides (like Maggie Weader and Adam Jones) weigh in on the program’s value.
