What is Peer Mentoring?
Peer mentors are there for support during your transition to life at UWM. They’ve gone through special training with the goal of helping you — whether it’s assistance in developing academic and personal skills, figuring out how to access useful campus resources or just being there to listen while you work through a problem. As a first-year student, you’ve already been assigned a peer mentor, so don’t hesitate to reach out and schedule an appointment through Navigate360.
“My Mentor is…”
- someone that I could go to for help or to gain clarity on things
- very comfortable to talk with
- a peer who knows campus well
- someone I can go to with any questions or to just figure college life out
Students learned from their Peer Mentor that:
- Getting a tutor is ok!
- There’s a lot of campus resources I’m not aware of.
- How to apply for scholarships.
- How to cope when things stress you out and how have a good time management plan.
- Prioritizing a good school – life balance is important.
- Ways to improve my campus life, like transportation services.
