Peer Mentoring Program

Call for applications for Peer Mentoring Program-2024 is OPEN!

The deadline is at 11:00 pm on April 14, 2024

 

MISSION STATEMENT:

Peer Mentoring Program is developed to provide the first-year students a welcoming and enjoyable first-year experience at AUA. Freshman students are assigned an experienced upper-undergraduate classman at new student orientation who helps them not only to transition well into AUA, but reach success in their academic professional, and personal lives.

Mentors assist new students in achieving their goals and encourage them to become active members of AUA’s campus life. The program, with the help from the Office of Student Affairs, provides resources and activities for mentors and mentees to attend together and builds a bond that will last for years to come.

To become a peer mentor a student must:

  • Be a full-time student in good academic standing (GPA 2.0 or above)
  • Have completed two (2) semesters at AUA
  • Carry out up to 6 sessions (4 mandatory and 2 optional) throughout the Fall Semester
