Student Run Programs

S.I.S.T.E.R.

Students Implementing Support Through Education and Recreation (S.I.S.T.E.R.) is a student developed OVCS program that trains Connecticut College students as mentors for middle school students. The female mentors meet weekly with a group of female adolescents from the New London Middle School. They complete educational and recreational activities, develop library skills, promote self-esteem and learn about healthy choices and positive conflict resolution. The S.I.S.T.E.R. Student Coordinator organizes activities and Student Mentors, and is involved in program development with OVCS staff.
