Being a FYE peer mentor provides you with opportunities to make meaningful relationships with professors and students on campus. -Mark Medina, FYE Peer Mentor, F18-SP22

Mentoring helped me learn to leave the world better than I found it. -Gino Moncada, FYE Peer Mentor, F18-F21

Mentoring others in some way specific to them has always been something I try to aim for on a daily basis. Whether it's my first time meeting you or my twentieth time meeting you.

Growing others is how I grow myself. -Abril Rubio, FYE Peer Mentor, F18-SP22
