Dukes First Year Peer Mentor Program
Going to college is exciting and full of endless opportunities, but can be difficult and overwhelming! Are you still looking to get connected to the campus community? Are you wanting to learn more about campus resources or how to get involved? The Dukes First Year Program is the perfect opportunity for you.
The Dukes First Year Peer Mentor program is designed to provide individualized support for new students who will be paired with an upper-class mentor that will aid in their transition to JMU. The program focuses on building a strong connection with your mentor and becoming acclimated to the campus community. This experience can be tailored to meet individual needs, but will aim to connect students to various campus resources that will support your academics, promote health and well-being, and help students find their place in the JMU community. If you have any questions, please email Mallory Powers (powers3md@jmu.edu).
