The Tutor Counselor: A New Role Model.

Blustein, David L.; Burton, Yvonne

College Student Journal, v13 n4 p360-62 Win 1979

Successful disadvantaged college students were used as peer tutor-counselors in a program designed to meet the needs of incoming disadvantaged freshmen. Retention rates were compared to a group of disadvantaged students without peer tutor-counselors. The higher rate of retention by the group utilizing tutor-counselors is discussed along with implications. (Author/BEF)
