Dear Zora,

Thank you for conveying Resolution 17: Reinstating the A&S Peer Mentoring Program. I appreciate the Assembly’s interest in ensuring first-year students receive support. Individual colleges determine what programming works best for their communities. 

The College of Arts & Sciences has a robust advising program, of which the peer advisor program was one component.

Sincerely,
