What is the First-Year Peer Mentoring Program?
The first year of college can be an overwhelming transition for incoming students as they adjust to a new living space, meet new people, and create new routines away from home. The First-Year Peer Mentoring Program was created to assist first-year students with their academic and personal transition to college. Each section of SEM 100 (first-year seminar) is assigned a mentor who will attend class twice a week and interact as directed by the course instructor. Mentors serve as a peer support resource in the classroom as well as through one-on-one meetings outside of the classroom.
