Peer Mentorship Program

An image of the team of students that participate as peer mentors for new students.

The Peer Mentorship program supports first-semester students as they transition into college life. Peer Mentors provide guidance, facilitate weekly mentoring sessions, and serve as role models who help students feel welcomed and informed. The program offers Mentees a supportive and enriching experience as they begin their college journey. With guidance from experienced peers, Mentees can gain valuable insights on navigating academics, balancing responsibilities and making friends.

The program fosters a sense of belonging by connecting students to campus activities, resources and social networks, helping reduce the isolation that can often come with being a new student.
