Description: The Peer Mentor role is an integral part of the experience of a new student. Peer mentoring is a form of mentorship that usually takes place between a person who has lived through a specific experience and a person who is new to that experience. The primary duty of the peer mentor is to foster new student growth and development through creating a safe learning environment where all students know they are valued. Successful peer mentors demonstrate a commitment to service, good interpersonal and communication skills, a genuine desire to help students, and be self-motivated with a positive attitude.
