Peer Mentoring
The Academic Success Center’s Peer Mentoring Program will conclude at the end of Spring 2024. This decision will allow our team to expand and launch new services to support our students’ greatest area of need.
We appreciate your understanding during this transition. Through the Spring 2024 semester, we will assist current participants in their transition to other support services. Information on alternative support initiatives will be provided.
We’re excited about our upcoming initiatives to enhance student support. Details will be shared soon.
