Peer Mentor

Incoming first-year students may request to be paired with upper-class mentors, who will...

• Aid in making the first-years students' Truman experience more positive and more successful;

• Familiarize the students with the campus and university life;

• Advise students on everything from selecting classes to joining organizations;

• Form strong bonds that foster friendly relationships and open social doors for first-year students;

• And help the students become cohesive units of the Truman community.

"As a Peer Mentor, I think I have the best job! I'm gaining the skills necessary for social interaction with my peers and the program offers all kinds of interesting activities for me and my mentee to be a part of. I've been in the program for three years now, and it has helped me meet some of my best friends in college."
