About the Sister2Sister Mentoring Program

Sister2Sister is a peer-mentoring program established around 2009 with the goal to help women-identified students, in particular freshmen students, to adjust to college life. The program runs per semester and gives the opportunity to students to attend workshops, social-cultural activities, bond, make friendships, learn from adult professional women, Big Sisters and build their co-curriculum resume.
