L.A.M.P.s

 (Leading And Mentoring Peers)

What's a L.A.M.P.?    

L.A.M.P.s are upperclasswomen chosen to be leaders for the incoming freshman class. Freshmen are normally far from home, attempting to transition into life without their parents, learning how to cope with college classes and trying to make friends.  Judson College understands the fear, stress and anxiety a new student may feel her first few months on campus, so L.A.M.P.s are chosen at the end of each school year.

Before move in day of the new school year, each L.A.M.P. receives a list of new freshmen names; these new freshmen will be her L.A.M.P. Group,  or "Light Bulbs"!

From the first day of the new school year, a L.A.M.P. has many responsibilities with her L.A.M.P. group. These might include but are not limited to:

• Helping the new students move into the dorms on Move-in Day.
• Meeting with her group and having a "get to know you" session
• Eating lunch with her group
• Mentoring each student in her group who may or may not be having a difficult time transitioning
• Leading them in the direction of positive choices when it comes to classes, spirituality or new relationships
• Helping them to get familiar with the campus, history and traditions
• Making welcome signs for each new girl or providing her with welcome gifts
• Being a friend to each new student

L.A.M.P.s often form close friendships with members of their L.A.M.P. Group, and these relationships often last far beyond the time when students no longer need the L.A.M.P.'s guidance.
