| Abstract: | This study examined the relationship between student adjustment to college and relational health with peers, mentors, and the community. Data were collected from 80 undergraduate students completing their first semester of course work at a large university in the mid‐South. A series of simultaneous multiple regression analyses indicated that higher levels of relational health with mentors were the strongest predictors of college student success during the first semester. Suggestions for developing a mentoring program are provided. |
