Awesome program and glad that I was able to be a part of this program. I would highly recommend it to other students. This program helped me keep myself accountable for my academics and I am on track to graduate.

My Career Peer Mentor was really helpful on trying to connect me with resources offered on campus that were really helpful, She would always receive me with a happy, cheerful, positive behavior which was really contagious and made me feel more comfortable to share with her my weaknesses and strengths with school. I genuinely enjoyed my meetings with her.
– Valeria (Career Peer Mentor Participant)
My Career Peer Mentor always had an answer to every question or need I had and if she didn’t she would make sure to find an answer and always follow up with me. She also always offered to go with me to any of the resources in case I wasn’t sure exactly where to go or just for support. Most importantly, I always felt a genuine connection with her and she made me feel like I was talking to a friend and I never felt judged or embarrassed to ask for the help I needed, I think that this is so rare to find now in days and just really appreciated the kindness and attention to detail in my times of need. I didn’t know what to expect from my CPM but she truly exceeded my expectations.
