What TRiO students are saying about the Peer Mentor Program

“The events really helped me open up and meet new people while having fun!”

“I really enjoyed meeting with my peer mentor. She was always able to answer any questions I had and she kept me informed with the different events going on with the TRiO program. The events that the peer mentors put on during the year were a lot of fun to go to with friends!”

“For freshman that are coming in, I would strongly suggest that they take up the mentoring program for their benefit”

“The mentoring program has helped me to make friends and get to know the school better. I would totally recommend it for all new students.”
