EDU* 100 Peer Mentoring

Credits: 1

This course will focus on the development and application of interpersonal skills for students identified as peer mentors. The student will be assigned to a faculty advisor who will oversee the student’s outreach efforts. The target population for the peer outreach mentor will be new students and those students at risk. Academically successful students through sharing their experiences at the college will listen, reassure, and suggest alternatives to new or at-risk students. The course requires the student mentor to participate in workshops designed to develop skills in the following areas: 1) listening, 2) interviewing, and 3) personal wellness. In addition, the mentor agrees to interact a minimum of ten (10) hours with the assigned mentee.
