Have you ever thought about assisting your fellow students with their transition to the University? What if you could do so and take a 3-credit Peer Mentoring course to develop your own skills at the same time?
Consider becoming an FYE Mentor!
Peer Mentors are specially selected UConn students from across the University's schools and colleges ranging in class rank from Sophomores to Seniors. You are given a unique opportunity to work alongside a faculty or staff member in a First Year Experience course.
This position will give you the chance to:
- Gain leadership, teaching, communication, peer counseling, planning, and presentation skills
- Work cooperatively with instructors to serve as role models to first-year students
- Serve as a “peer” resource that students feel comfortable approaching at any time with questions or concerns
Want to learn more? Please attend our Information Session on Tuesday, February 17th at 6:45 pm or Monday, February 23rd at 5:30 pm in Rowe/CUE 130 to speak with current individuals involved with the program.
You can also check out the First Year Programs & Learning Communities website to find out more or submit your application: http://fye.uconn.edu/fye_mentors/
