Meet the Mentors

As a member of a multicultural team, the peer mentor is responsible for assisting multicultural students in adjusting academically and socially to the University of Idaho environment. Peer mentors provide students with information about services offered through the University of Idaho and encourage students to utilize these services. Through their work PACE Peer Mentors are also models of academic responsibility, community and multicultural communications.
