Peer Mentors | Learning Communities

Who is a "Learning Community Peer Mentor"?

A Peer Mentor is an upper-division student, which is someone beyond their first-year at UNL, who is in the same major, college, pre-professional path, and/or someone who shares a similar identity or interest to you! They oversee your Learning Community to be an amazing resource and guide for you throughout your first-year. They'll hold Weekly Floor Hours to assist with studying and homework, provide plenty of social opportunities to meet new people, and plan events to take you around Lincoln and beyond to explore career options and get you connected to your passions and interests. Getting to know them is a great way to start building connections and have a support system from the beginning!
