POINTS OF PRIDE
Peer Mentoring Services is a one-on-one relationship between an experienced University of Akron student (mentor) and a new first-year student (mentee). This relationship is voluntary and it develops over a one year period of time with clearly defined roles and expectations. The Peer Mentoring Service comes from the premise that students who are connected with the University will feel less isolated, enhancing their first year experience. Mentees will become familiar with the campus resources, resulting in better academic performance and chances of matriculation from first year to graduation.
