Bailey College Peer Mentors

EVERY STUDENT DESERVES A MENTOR Connect with a Bailey College Peer MentorThe Bailey College of Science and Mathematics is offering a peer mentoring program for students. Students are paired with one of their peers, someone who is invested in their success — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges and recognize opportunities. Students will learn what to expect in school, how to approach challenges, gain career advice and valuable insights, while mentors will build their networks and develop skills to become better professionals and leaders.

How It Works

Students will be matched with a peer mentor based on common interests, background, academics, and professional aspirations. To get started, mentees and mentors register and complete an online survey to assess personality and experience.

What Do Mentors and Mentees Discuss?

  • How do I balance the demands of school, responsibilities, and socializing?
  • How can I set myself up for academic, social, and career success?
  • How will my major impact my professional options?
  • How do I make connections with peers and professional contacts?

Why Join Bailey College Peer Mentors?

Quotes From Mentees:

"[My mentor] helped me answer the question of how to form strong relationships with my professors by giving me an actionable strategy to having strong purposeful visits to their office hours."
 
"I'm really excited to have someone there for me. It's nice knowing that I'm not completely alone and hopefully can be someone I can reach out to if I'm having a hard time in school or other activities."
 
"My mentor has been an amazing help in my life, he makes me realize and see things more clearly. Sometimes it's in front of your face but can't see until someone puts it into words for you."


Quotes From Mentors:

"I'm volunteering to mentor because I've been fortunate enough to have mentors who guided me throughout my academic and professional careers and I feel like I am finally able to give back."

"I would like to give back and help current students achieve their goals, sometimes all it takes is a simple conversation."
