PEER MENTORING & PEER LED PROGRAMS
The University of Arizona has a variety of peer mentoring and peer led programs, supervised by professional staff members, all across campus. As a student, you are able to review many of the programs we have available and choose one that best aligns with the experience you want to have your first year.
Peer mentoring and peer led programs are opportunities for incoming students to connect with fellow Wildcats in navigating the institution, building your community, and creating your campus network. You have the option to connect with your college or major, build community with other Wildcats who share similar identities, or connect with peers on shared interests.
Students who participate in a peer mentoring or peer led programs are more likely to persist to their second year than their peers who do not participate in a program.
Peer mentoring is shown to have a positive impact on the student experience; students involved are more likely to have better grades, stay at the University of Arizona, and graduate.
There are peer mentoring programs available to students based on their college, major, interests or specific identities.
