<p class=MsoNormal><b>What is a Peer Mentor? </b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>University College Peer Mentors work in an auxiliary and
support capacity with the UCs Success Coaches, the front line in the
University’s effort to support and encourage entering first-year and transfer
students in their transition to A&M-Commerce. Peer Mentors meet,
greet, and gather necessary information from students visiting with the Success
Coaches to help the SCs do their work more effectively. Peer Mentors will
also help guide students after their SC appointments to either their next stop
in the admissions/enrollment process or to make sure that their questions have
been answered and needs met. During the long semesters, Peer Mentors will
help promote campus awareness of the SCs, their services, and also the
importance of early and informed advisement and registration. There will
be five Peer Mentors selected each year.<o:p></o:p></p>

either a rising sophomore, junior or senior student at A&M-Commerce.<o:p></o:p></p>
