The TRIO SSS STEM Peer Mentoring project at Big Bend Community College pairs TRIO STEM Scholars with Mentors who are BBCC alum and are pursuing a STEM major at a four-year institution. Through one-on-one meetings and group workshops, the peer mentors provide a space for mentees to enhance their sense of belonging in the STEM field, and gain knowledge to increase success in the transfer process. 

Participants in this program will meet with their mentor twice per month via an online platform (i.e. Zoom, Google Chat, Microsoft Teams, FaceTime) and/or phone/text.
