CUFS 100 Peer Mentors

The Peer Mentor plays an important role in the CUFS 100 (Freshman Seminar) course by serving as a role model and mentor to freshmen students. Peer Mentors are expected to attend all class sessions and assist the instructor by offering their unique perspective of life as a ذكذكتسئµ student. Peer Mentors have a variety of responsibilities including keeping students updated about campus events and activities, organizing out of class activities (i.e. community service events), and assisting the instructor with course planning and classroom management.
