At UW-Superior, our Peer Mentors are experienced upperclassmen who provide information, support, and encouragement to our new students.  New Spring 2012 our Peer Mentor will be working with the First Year Seminar courses which are open to all freshmen.  In addition, she will be holding office hours, which are open for any student to stop in. 

See what some of our Fall 2009 students had to say about their Peer Mentor 

"I have somebody who I can relate to and who can explain stuff to me in a way I understand."

"She has helped me learn to better manage my time and develop connections with other freshman students. As a result of the program I have a better understanding of the curriculum at UWS.  It's a greater experience than I have ever had before."

"My mentor made this semester a better experience!"

"She is someone who understands what I'm going through and is actually in one of my classes."

Peer Mentors can assist students in several ways, such as helping them:

Improve study skills

Learn to network with peers, faculty, and administration

Refer them to UWS and community services and resources

Improve communication skills, including a clearer sense of what questions to ask and when and how to communicate with professors

Strengthen time management skills

Strengthen academic skills in general, leading to student success
