Peer Mentorship

All new students at 51ÂÜÀòreceive an experienced and trained Peer Mentor who will be a friendly support system to assist in the transition from high school to college life. Peer Mentors check in with mentees frequently throughout a student’s entire first academic year to provide helpful guidance and insights. A Peer Mentor can help students in the following ways:

  • Inform students of helpful resources
  • Help students identify tailored strategies for success
  • Work with students who are struggling academically, socially and in their personal lives, to set goals and resolve issues
  • Build strong supportive relationships with students and be counted on as a dependable and approachable person to go to for assistance
