Peer Mentoring
The Peer Mentoring program is designed to help first-year SSSP students adjust to the rigors of college life academically, socially and culturally.
Peer Mentors are matched with individual incoming students and help their mentees connect with resources across the Brandeis campus. Your peer mentor will serve as a coach, support system, resource guide, and most importantly, a friend. Together with your mentor, you can:
- Grab a meal, on or off campus!
- Ask for help and learn how to navigate on-campus resources
- Talk and share your experiences academically, socially and personally
- Play games, hang out, do homework together and much more!
Upperclass SSSP members are strongly encouraged to apply to be a Peer Mentor during the months of February and March.

“Having a peer mentor really helped me integrate into the whole Brandeis campus, and as a mentor myself, I really tried to do the same for my lovely mentees!”
