Peer Mentors

Peer Mentors are upper level students with experience at being successful at university and they act as "big sisters" or "big brothers." The goal of the program is to make new students feel more comfortable in an academic environment, adjust to academic demands, and become self-sufficient, successful members of our academic community.

Every first year student is assigned a Peer Mentor who is available to provide support and guidance. These volunteer nursing students are there to answer questions about student life at our campus. The Peer Mentors can also offer suggestions on everything from course selection to campus activities to surviving exam anxiety.

The mentors are a first point of contact within the faculty and want your UNB experience to be a rewarding one.
