FYE Mentors are specially selected UConn students from across the University's schools and colleges ranging in class rank from Sophomores to Seniors. They are given a unique opportunity to work alongside a faculty or staff member in a First Year Experience course.
The Peer Mentor position will give students 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
Please encourage your students to 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.
They can also check out the First Year Programs & Learning Communities website to find out more or submit their application: http://fye.uconn.edu/fye_mentors/
The deadline to apply for the fall 2015 positions is March 1st!
