Peer Mentor Program

About the Peer Mentor Program
The Peer Mentor Program is designed to create a strong network of support for first-year and transfer students at NC State from all backgrounds. As a mentee, you’ll be paired with an upper-class mentor who will offer guidance, encouragement, and resources to help you thrive academically, socially, and personally.

Our Peer Mentors are dedicated to helping first-year and transfer students make the most of their college experience and feel supported as they adjust to life at NC State.

The Participant Experience

Beyond building relationships, a key focus of the Peer Mentor Program is helping incoming students set academic, professional, and personal goals.  Within the program curriculum, there is an intentional focus on goal-setting for the incoming Fall Semester as well as for the undergraduate journey overall.  By students being able to effectively craft, articulate, and carry out goal execution alongside a supportive cohort of both fellow mentees and mentors, the outcome is an ability to move forward confidently during their journey at NC State University. 

The Program ultimately desires to craft an experience that encourages participants to thrive, by utilizing one of the key ingredients that all students need to succeed; community support and empowerment.
