Thank you for your interest in the Honors Peer Mentor Program!  In order to apply, you must be a current Campuswide Honors student. Please review the the commitment requirements and responsibilities before completing the application:

WHAT IS THE PEER MENTOR PROGRAM?
The Campuswide Honors Collegium (CHC) Peer Mentor Program pairs each incoming student with a continuing honors student, who serves as a mentor. Mentors help connect new students to the CHC and the UCI campus by answering questions about student life and referring students to on-campus resources. CHC students interact with their mentors both informally and through planned events like mixers, potlucks and movie nights.

WHY SHOULD I GET INVOLVED?
Participation in the CHC Peer Mentor Program often leads to lasting friendships and is a great way to build your leadership portfolio. As a mentor, you have the chance to share your personal experiences about classes/instructors, research, commuting or living on campus, and ideas for participation and involvement both on campus and in the Honors Collegium. Every level of involvement builds to the next – so that you graduate with a range of diverse leadership experiences and leave a positive mark on the CHC community. You have much to offer to others, so why not pay it forward and become a mentor!

REQUIREMENTS
1. Commit to the position for the entire 2022-2023 academic year..
2. Participate in mentor/mentee socials.

4. Attend one mentor/mentee event per quarter with your mentees as planned by the Peer Mentor Coordinators, in addition to the Welcome Week event. If you and your mentees are unable to attend planned mentor/mentee events together, then you can plan your own meet up, or plan to attend another CHC event together (e.g., Coffee Hour).
5. Commit to volunteer or help plan at least one event for CHC mentors and mentees.
6. Attend the Peer Mentor "Refresher" Workshop during winter 2023.
