Events
Transitioning from high school to college can be intimidating, but the SAS Honors Peer Mentors are here to help make the journey an informed and smooth experience.
Peer Mentors are made up of upper-class honors students who are eager to give you advice on all things Rutgers and honors. They are happy to chat with you in person, by phone, text, or social media. Don't be surprised if your Peer Mentor offers to show you how to use the bus system, brings you to one of their student organization meetings, or invites you to share how your first week of classes went over coffee; it's just what our Peer Mentors do!
In order to be matched to a Peer Mentor, incoming first-year Honors Program students from the Class of 2025 can expect to receive information about our application in spring 2020. Once all applications have been received at the end of May, our Peer Mentor Programming Board will match each incoming student to a current Honors Program student based on major/academic interests, career goals, resident/commuter status, and/or extracurricular interests. Your Peer Mentor will then contact you by e-mail with an introduction and information about how to stay in touch.
Mentors and Mentees have an opportunity to meet at the Virtual Peer Mentor & Mentee Summer Gathering in June.
Throughout the academic year, Mentors and Mentees are invited to continue to attend other fun Peer Mentor events.
Join the Peer Mentor Program and SASHP community to destress on the last day of classes!

The SASHP Peer Mentor Program matches new SASHP students with current students who volunteer to serve as Peer Mentors. Peer Mentors assist first-year students in the transition to Rutgers through sharing information about the university, assisting Mentees with majors, minors, and extracurricular opportunities, and providing friendship and support at SASHP and Rutgers events.
Peer Mentors are required to attend a minimum of one Peer Mentor event and submit a report assessing their Mentor/Mentee relationship each semester.
We are also looking for creative and enthusiastic leaders to serve on the Peer Mentor Programming Board. Programming Board Leaders work as a team to help develop, market, and execute Peer Mentor events, as well as run the Peer Mentor social media accounts.
The 2021-2022 Peer Mentor application will be made available in March with a due date of Sunday, March 28, 2021. Please email hpmentor@sas.rutgers.edu with any questions.
All Peer Mentors will be required to attend a mandatory virtual training taking place the week of April 26, 2021. Date and time TBD for Zoom training.
