The Peer Mentor Program is designed to help guide undergraduate students who are interested in pursuing research and inquiry, by providing student mentors. Each summer, 10 peer mentors are selected and are active mentors/researchers for one year. These students will be representatives of all disciplines, colleges, and partner campuses.
Peer Mentors serve as ambassadors for the Office of Undergraduate Research and Inquiry. These students are active researchers who assist their peers in getting involved in research and inquiry by mentoring, hosting workshops, giving classroom presentations, and other activities. Peer mentors work closely with the Council for Scholarship and Inquiry (CSI) to support this initiative.
