Receiving a Peer Mentor

Being paired with a peer mentor during my first semester of college made a huge difference. I was nervous about adjusting to campus life, but my mentor helped me feel more confident and supported. They showed me how to manage my time, study more effectively, and even introduced me to helpful campus resources I didn’t know existed. It was reassuring to talk to someone who had already been through the same experience. Thanks to the program, I felt less alone and more prepared to succeed.
