Peer Mentors

We have an excellent group of peer mentors ready to assist CNR students with their academic needs. Peer Mentors meet with undergraduate students, are available to answer questions and to help arrange academic programs. Mentors meet with students each semester and serve as a resource for students, providing information on CNR majors and minors, student success/study skills, and careers.
