History
Peer Leaders’ primary goal is to help entering UTEP students succeed in their first year of college. They seek to serve as a support network to all entering students in the Entering Student Experience by:
- Serving as peer-to-peer student mentors to freshmen and transfer students enrolled in UNIV 1301.
- Connecting entering students with relevant UTEP resources to help ensure students feel supported throughout their college journey (e.g. FAHR, CAPS, UNIV 1301 tutoring, the Common Read Book Club, CASS, etc.).
- Facilitating social events for UTEP students, especially entering students, to help them meet other students and develop a sense of belonging and engagement with the UTEP community.
