| Summary |
Publisher description: This text prepares upper-class students to work directly with first-year students in a student success or first-year experience course, an orientation program, or as a resident advisor. The text outlines the best practices for implementing a peer mentor program on campus, provides instructors with a core text that illustrates what a peer mentor is and how to train students to be peer mentors. With nearly a decade of experience training peer mentors for a large first-year experience program, the authors use this experience to provide case studies in every chapter to depict real-life problems that mentors will encounter. |
