Course Description

This seminar on the theory and practice of peer mentoring is for peer mentors working across campus (Bridge Scholars Program (BSP), the Stroud Scholars Program, and the Peer Education Program in the Butler Center, etc.). Research demonstrates that peer mentors help fellow students succeed in college. Becoming an effective peer mentor requires self-awareness, active learning, time, practice, feedback, and a supportivecommunity. Students will engage with readings, participate in class activities, produce reflections, and complete a final project as part of their journey to becoming an effective peer mentor.
