Are you interested in gaining valuable leadership and networking experiences while strengthening our CUNY BA community?

If your answer to the above question is “yes,” then please consider applying to be a CUNY BA Peer Mentor!

The previous CUNY BA Peer Mentor Program pairs experienced CUNY BA students with 1-2 mentees who are relatively new to CUNY BA. Peer mentors help newer students navigate formal and informal challenges within CUNY BA, share advice about professional development, and provide a source of peer support to ensure that mentees adjust smoothly to life in CUNY BA.
