Description
Summary:This study investigated how Kabale University's orientation program affects students' academic achievement, integration into the university community, and the effectiveness of peer mentorship. Data gathered from students across different academic years explored their levels of participation, perceptions of integration, academic performance, program customization, and experiences with peer mentorship. The findings indicate varied participation levels, generally positive perceptions of integration, mixed findings regarding the program's influence on academic performance, and diverse feedback on the effectiveness of peer mentorship. The study highlights the importance of continuous evaluation and improvement of the orientation program to effectively meet the diverse needs of students. Future research opportunities include longitudinal analysis of program impacts, comparative studies of orientation programs, and exploration of peer mentorship dynamics to enhance student support and academic success.
