Student Life Peer Mentor Programme

The goal of the Peer Mentor programme is to assist first time entering students with their transition to higher education. Peer Mentors are trained senior undergraduate students who assist to create an enabling environment oriented toward the support and encouragement of individual student growth and development.

An enabling environment is constructed through building relationships with our students that are supportive and informative. These relationships serve as a safety network for our students in the case of distress. In this way, the accountable Student Affairs staff members are better able to maintain a sense of awareness pertaining to the influence of the university environment on students.

Peer Mentorship is facilitated by way of ten themed discussions. These discussions (whether face-to-face or online) propose to create opportunities for mentors to build meaningful relationships with their respective group of mentees.

The programme aims to inspire and support student to develop their unique potential and to achieve success during their study period and beyond. The programme is for both residence and commuter students in all 3 campuses.
