What is the GSP Peer Mentoring Program?
The GSP Peer Mentor Program selects and trains former GSP students currently attending Northeastern University to become student mentors for first year GSP students.
Mission
The GSP Peer Mentor Program seeks to improve student success and increase levels of satisfaction with the college experience by matching upper class students with entering freshman. The Peer Mentors are chosen based on their strong academic record, their enthusiasm for the GSP, and their ability to guide and communicate with new students. Mentors meet regularly with students both inside class (GENS 1101 and 1102) and outside class.
Goals
Through the GSP Peer Mentor Program we hope to:
Integrate incoming freshmen into the GSP community as well as the NU community
Provide a rewarding learning experience by actively engaging students with their environment
