Peer Mentoring
The focus of the mentoring relationship is to empower students to use and share their knowledge to confidently engage educational experiences throughout their lives. Our goal is to pair a BASE student with a more experienced peer to help navigate the transition at UC Merced. Peer mentors are role models who provide support and validation, assist their mentees in navigating campus resources, and help their peers become more engaged in the UC Merced community.
They're here to support and cheer you on, show you around campus resources, and help you get involved in the UC Merced community.
Upon interaction with this program, BASE students will:
- Create an academic and personal plan to serve as the framework for on-going mentoring relationships.
- Identify university resources and apply those resources to assist them in reaching academic and personal goals.
- Identify university resources and apply those resources to assist them in reaching academic and personal goals.
- Engage in learning that is based on reciprocal and mutually beneficial relationships, and through this engagement will apply theory and skills in diverse venues, linking the conceptual to the practical.
- Communicate and explain how personal values and interests, in conjunction with strengths and weaknesses, affect academic and career goals.
