Peer mentors are undergraduate students who have successfully passed an Introductory Psychology course with an A or received AP credit. Applicants must have a GPA of at least 3.0. Peer mentors commit to a psychology course where they support small group activities during lecture and assist with exam sessions. Outside of the classroom, peer mentors provide study sessions, exam review sessions, and individual attention to complex material.
[All majors are encouraged to apply for this role, as this is a general education course enrolling over 1000 students a year, and diversity of majors affords the opportunity for different disciplines to connect to this foundational course.]
