Supporting First-Year Seminars
As part of their duties to support students, peer mentors are paired with sections of PSU 009 First-Year Seminar during the fall semester. In that role, they will attend class regularly and actively engage with students throughout the semester. Their primary role is to help first-year students build connections, navigate the transition to college and feel a stronger sense of belonging within the Bellisario College community.
