Let's Talk Fields of Study!

We encourage upper-year students from across LA&PS programs to serve as peer mentors. If you don't see your program represented, look for peer mentors in related fields of study; they will have learning strategies and experiences and know about clubs and events relevant to you!

Keep in mind that peer mentors are not subject tutors. They are here to help you set goals, navigate the university, make friends, get involved in clubs and associations, and more. Feel free to reach out to peer mentors who are not in your program!

Can't choose? No problem!

Hang out with us all on Discord and in The Renaissance Room (VC 001) Monday-Thursday 11am-4pm starting Mid-September
