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! Peer Mentees also have access to exclusive academics and social Peer Mentor events throughout the year led by the Peer Mentor Programming Board.
In order to be matched to a Peer Mentor, incoming first-year Honors Program students can expect to receive information about our application in June. Once all applications have been received by Sunday, June 16, 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 will an opportunity to meet at the Peer Mentor & Mentee Summer Gathering on Sunday, August 4. Throughout the academic year, Mentors and Mentees are invited to continue to attend other fun Peer Mentor events.
Apply by Sunday, June 16.
