The Learning Alliance Peer Mentor Program seeks upper-division students who will guide entering freshmen by sharing their knowledge, encouraging student success, and providing new students with continuing support. As a peer mentor, students have the opportunity to improve leadership skills, facilitate discussions, help create a successful learning environment, and develop expertise in group dynamics and effective communication.
Peer mentors are assigned to each CLA 195 - Introduction to Learning Communities course along with a faculty and professional staff member. CLA 195 meets twice each week during the fall semester. In addition, peer mentors must enroll in and attend a seminar once a week.
