Living-Learning Community Peer Mentor

Interested in programming? Do you like to make a difference? Is mentoring a skill of yours? If so, why not apply to be a Peer Mentor for the Living-Learning Communities?

Both graduate and undergraduate students can be Peer Mentors. Peer Mentors are members of the Department of Residence Life and Housing and are compensated positions staffed and housed in one of the 18 Living-Learning Communities. They strive to work in conjunction with the Resident Assistant in the community. For 2013-14, all Living-Learning Communities are located in either Spicer or South Residence Hall (plus Emerging Leaders in Ritchie, Sisler-McFawn, or Honors Complex). Along with LLC staff, the peer mentor is responsible for programming, mentoring and collaborating with an LLC Faculty Advisor specific to the interest group or academic aspiration. The Peer Mentor helps first-year students transition to college life through social and educational programming.

From Outdoor Adventure to ROTC; Business to Pre-Med, there is a Living-Learning Community available to hundreds of students per academic year. Will you be there?
