Peer mentors

Peer Mentors for TRIO Classic and STEM Scholars Programs are experienced students who are sincerely interested in the educational and personal development of their fellow students. They function as a coach, a friend, and, most of all, a positive role model. Through group and one-on-one settings, the peer mentors create a safe and non-judgmental environment in order to enhance and enrich the college experience of their fellow TRIO Scholars and TRIO STEM Scholars.
