Peer Mentoring
FIRST & SECOND-YEAR STUDENTS
Navigating the University can feel overwhelming at any stage in your journey, but you don't have to do it alone. Peer Mentors, student leaders who have been in your shoes, can meet with you one-on-one to make sure you are supported and connected on campus. We also have great events like Thrive Treks to show you around campus, Mentoring Mashups to socialize and pick up new skills, and Homework Happy Hours to learn new study strategies.
We are located in the Bartlett Academic Success Center, part of the Student Success District, and available for FREE to all students on campus.

PEER MENTORING ACROSS CAMPUS
ASEMS Peer Mentoring
The Arizona Science, Engineering, and Math Scholars (ASEMS) program focuses on promising students who are underrepresented in STEM, especially students who are first in their family to attend college, from low-income households, who transferred from a community college, and from underrepresented groups. Our peer mentors share their personal journeys and discuss culturally responsive opportunities to support scholars in STEM fields as they transition into the University of Arizona.
First Cats
Focused on the first-generation college student experience, we support students who are in their first-year getting used to campus all the way through their senior year preparing to graduate. We are here for every step of your Arizona journey, and we look forward to welcoming you into the First Cats community!
Thrive Center Peer Mentoring
Navigating the University can feel overwhelming at any stage in your journey, but you don't have to do it alone. Peer Mentors, student leaders who have been in your shoes, can meet with you one-on-one to make sure you are supported and connected on campus. Even if you think you're good, a mentor can make sure you don't miss out on important aspects of the college experience, and can keep you accountable and connected when you meet a challenge.
Transfer Peer Mentoring
The Transfer Student Center is excited to announce our new Transfer Peer Mentoring program! This program will support students throughout the most challenging parts of the transfer journey! Transfer Mentoring is intended to be a two-semester model, as transferring presents different challenges at different stages of the transfer process.
