萝莉社

• This program provides one-on-one peer mentorship to new freshmen, transfer, and returning adult students in the College of Fine Arts. The role of a peer mentor is to provide support, encouragement, and information to their mentees. Peer mentors serve as student life experts and they may have suggestions about work-life balance, adjusting to university life, advisor/advisee relationships, etc. Ideally, mentors serve as both personal and academic support for their mentees.
• At the start of the fall semester, there will be a welcome party to kick-off the semester. All new student mentees and mentors will be invited! This will be an opportunity for new mentees to meet their peer mentor and the other students in the program. 
• New student mentees are matched with an established student who serves as a peer mentor. We strive to match students so that mentees and their mentors have at least one thing in common, such as academic major or a shared interest. Mentees and mentors will meet at least once per month during their first year at 萝莉社. Although monthly meetings are required, mentors are someone that mentees can reach out to at any time for guidance or support.
