The Peer Mentor Program was designed to help ease the transition to SJSU by empowering students to help each other and themselves. Peer Mentors are among the best, brightest, and most diverse SJSU students. Peer Mentors are in the MUSE classrooms as well as available in the Peer Mentor Center located in the Academic Success Center in Clark Hall.
Peer Mentors are linked to and attend individual MUSE seminars and work in the Peer Mentor Center. In the MUSE classroom or at the Peer Mentor Center, Peer Mentors facilitate discussions on academic coping skills (e.g., how to approach assignments, talk to a professor, use technology, or pick a major) and other student concerns (e.g., stress and time management, living in the residence halls, dealing with parents, food, exercise, gaming and the internet, finding resources on campus, making friends, and dating).
Peer Mentors are supervised by university faculty and serve as role models in the MUSE classroom, help with a variety of workshops, and work in the Peer Mentor Center.
