MSA Peer Mentorship Program
The Peer Mentor Program is an initiative launched by the MSA department to provide tailored academic support specifically for our graduate students across all concentrations. The program is designed to offer peer-to-peer guidance, ensuring that our students have access to resources and assistance throughout their academic journey at CMU.
Whether students need help with writing assignments, brainstorming ideas, understanding course requirements, or seeking other forms of academic support, the Peer Mentor Program connects them with experienced peers who can offer valuable insights and guidance. By fostering a network of support, this initiative aims to enhance the academic success of MSA students and help them thrive during their time at CMU. The program aims to enhance academic achievement, foster a feeling of community, offer personalized mentoring, and support leadership and personal development in both mentors and mentees.
