Peer mentors are here to help new students transition to the University of Arizona as well as assisting all COH students with finding their Academic Advisor’s office, navigating campus resources and expectations, and connecting them with the right people to succeed. Peer mentors are role models who can help students get more involved on campus and also serve as a resource for any challenges they encounter.
