I’ve written previously about drop-in peer mentoring sessions available to STEM students in the College of Science and Engineering. Sometimes the best help is help from a fellow student! Here is the breakdown of peer mentoring supports for Semester 2.
**Attached also to this post are three promotional documents you might like to distribute to peers or decorate parts of the university where you hang out.**
