Peer Mentors

What is the Peer Mentoring service?

Mentoring is a one-on-one relationship between an experienced UA student (mentor) and a new first-year student (mentee).

This relationship is voluntary and it develops over one year, with clearly defined roles and expectations.

The Peer Mentoring Services comes from the premise that students who are connected with the University will feel less isolated, enhancing their first year experiences and their academic abilities.

Mentees will become familiar with the campus resources, resulting in better academic performance and chances of matriculation from first year to graduation.
