Academic Success
Meet the Peer Academic Mentors
Peer Academic Mentors support all Southwestern University students with a variety of college success skills through one-on-one coaching and workshops.
What We Do
Mentors are a source of academic support for fellow students throughout their time at SU. We work with students to develop effective study skills and strategies on an individual basis, design and facilitate academic skills workshops, refer students to campus life support services, and guide students through short- and long-term planning.
Been there, done that:
As upper-level students, the Peer Mentors have experiences both in and out of the classroom that help relate to the students they work with. They are eager to answer your questions, hear your concerns, or just chat!
