Peer Mentors

Peer Mentors strive to assist students in transitioning into college. Providing timely, encouraging, and practical advice

Honors College peer mentors help guide first-year students as they conduct research during their HNRS-110 class. They not only serve as a useful academic resource for those who need it, but also aim to make the transition to college as stress-free as possible. Peer Mentors provide one-on-one support using inquiry-based mentoring to help students find different answers to their questions. If you have a question about your research project, or need tips and guidance in studying for a final, you'll have someone to provide timely, encouraging, and practical advice.
