The PEERs (Program to Engage and Exchange Resources for Students) Experience is dedicated to engage and empower students from underrepresented communities to successfully navigate the college experience while building strong and authentic community. The program is designed to give students from underrepresented backgrounds a way to create and maintain meaningful relationships with those who come from similar backgrounds and build a connection to the greater UD community. The PEERs Experience helps to foster an inclusive environment that is rewarding for all those who join. While students learn and grow together, they become active partners in shared learning experiences through programs, services, and relationships.

One optional component of PEERS is our mentoring program. Mentors and mentees will receive personal, social, cultural and academic support that will aid in the retention and persistence towards graduation from UD. IMPORTANT: You can be a part of the PEERS program and not serve as a mentor or mentee.

The mentor/mentee relationship is a valuable and reciprocal relationship which both parties gain skills and grow. The Multi-Ethnic Education and Engagement Center (MEC) is seeking first-year students who are enthusiastic and are dedicated to ensuring they are successful as they navigate the college experience. We are asking that students take the first step in investing in their college career.

Participants of the PEERS program will:

• have access to a community of support and resources during key stages of their academic career.
• receive guidance that aids in their personal and leadership development.
• develop a greater sense of belonging to UD by engaging in the PEERS community.
• be exposed to diverse perspectives and experiences that affirms their cultural identity.
