PEER MENTORS

Peer Mentors are an integral part of the new student academic experience at St. Mary’s. A Peer Mentor is assigned to each section of LEAD Seminar and works with the section professor to help ensure that students are adjusting to the academic expectations of St. Mary’s.

Peer Mentor Duties

• The Peer Mentors help lead discussion
• Provide instruction on campus resources
• Provide an advanced student perspective within the Seminars

Peer mentors attend every session of the Seminar section to which they are assigned.
