Peer Mentors & Liberal Studies Student Association (LSSA)
In the College of Education, students have a number of opportunities to develop their leadership skills, support current and future Liberal Studies students, and possibly work part-time at CSULB.
Are you a student who wants to be involved on their campus and/or within their community, beyond the experiences with the classroom? Take a look below!
Peer Mentors are student representatives specifically associated with the Department of Liberal Studies, who provide a wide range of services to fellow students as well as assistance to professional advisors. These student employees serve as guides to their fellow peers, through offering assistance with academic planning, scholarship and credentialing applications, e-advising tools, and much more. And when they're not directly assistant students, peer mentors provide support to professional advisors with campus events, create fliers and documents, and assist with data entry.
