Peer Mentors

As a Peer Mentor your primary role will be to serve as a role model for the students within the WLLC. As the students will be new to East Carolina University, you will help them become acquainted with life at East Carolina University. Peer Mentors will also be recruited to help plan and implement programs for WLLC participants in collaboration with the Graduate Assistants. When trips and activities are planned for the first year WLLC members we encourage Peer Mentors to attend as well. Examples of some activities include: special meetings, sporting events, campus programs, community trips and retreats throughout the year. Peer Mentors will be required to attend all mandatory group meetings. As part of the class, Peer Mentors will keep in contact with their group members. We hope that in doing so you will form lasting friendships.
