The Peer Mentor Program is a component of the student services
offered by the BSOS Advising Center. The primary role of Peer Mentors is to
teach the BSOS Graduation Planning workshops each semester and conduct various
presentations in BSOS UNIV100 sections. Through the services they provide to
fellow students, Peer Mentors gain leadership, presentation, and public
speaking skills. In preparation for their required tasks, all Peer Mentors are
expected to attend weekly class sessions and serve for at least two semesters.
Students will earn 1 academic credit after successful completion of each
semester. Please visit http://bsosundergrad.umd.edu/engagement/bsos-peer-mentors for
