Peer Mentor Program

Mentoring is done formally through individual and small- and large-group gatherings, as well as informally as trusted points of contact throughout the year. Having engaged in honors themselves, mentors promote the program through word and action to both current students and through occasional recruiting opportunities for prospective students and their families.
