LIFT Peer Mentors

Leadership Impacting Freshman Transition (L.I.F.T.) Peer Mentoring Program

We know that the transition to College can be a tricky one. New faces, places, and expectations all await new freshman. In order to help the freshman successfully transition to the Mount Aloysius community, the L.I.F.T. program has been created so new students can learn from students who were in their shoes not that long ago. L.I.F.T. Mentors are ingrained members of the LIBA 150 – College Success & the Mercy Experience course in the fall semester. Mentors work and plan with the faculty member teaching the course to develop and co-facilitate activities in the course to assist freshman in transition to higher education.

Mentors are expected to be engaging, enthusiastic about Mount Aloysius, resourceful, dedicated to their development, as well as the development of students they are mentoring. Serving as a LIFT Mentor not only supports the development and transition of the new students at the College, but allows mentors to develop their leadership, communication, and creative capacities. Not only will the L.I.F.T. Mentors play a pivotal role in the College Success course, they will be available to the freshmen students during weekly office hours, which can be scheduled on Navigate.

Hi, my name is Eliza Mock! I'm from the very small town of Williamsburg in Blair County, PA. I went to Williamsburg High School and I graduated as the valedictorian. One thing about me is that I love animals. I have four cats, two dogs, and two birds. My family also owns a dog boarding business, so I get the opportunity to spend a lot of time with dogs. Another thing that interests me is the Northern Lights, which you can sometimes see from my house if the conditions are right. I just found out about this in fall of 2024 and I love watching for them sitting on the deck of my house.
