The Peer Mentor program is an exciting program whose purpose is to create a community for undeclared students. It’s an opportunity for current undeclared students to meet with former undeclared students with the goal of sharing their major declaration story. This includes what worked for them, what didn’t work, challenges, and successes. The idea is that there is hope that every University Studies student will declare a major that’s a good fit for them. Furthermore, by hearing someone else’s story, each student will feel empowered and motivated to actively participate in their own journey.

Peer Mentors participate in an intense training where they learn communication skills, policies, resource referral, and understand the resources available to undeclared students. They are a guide, a non-judgmental listener, a supporter, an encourager, and a resource.
