Peer Mentoring is an intricate
component of the UCC 101: College Success Course at Union
County College. Peer Mentors are available to assist students
with their transition into UCC. Each UCC 101 course in the
Learning Community has a designated Peer Mentor who guides
and encourages the students to not only utilize the available
campus resources (such as the Librarians , ALC Tutors, and
Counselors), but to also participate in the variety of student
organizations and extra-curricular activities.
The Peer Mentors serve as a role model for students enrolled
in the UCC 101 Course. Each Learning Community has a Peer
Mentor assigned to the paired courses to assist in providing
the following support:
- Assist students in getting acclimated to the Union County
College campus
- Encourage students to utilize campus resources available
to them
- Promote participation in student organizations and extra-curricular
activities
- Serve as a liaison between the faculty and the students
- Provide support to students both in and out of the classroom
