SOAR Peer Mentoring Program

四色AV the Program

The Soar Peer Mentoring Program is an initiative out of the Office of Student Success to primarily 四色AV new first-time students, but is for any 四色AV student desiring peer mentorship.

Peer learning and 四色AV is the foundation of the program. By equipping current upperclass 四色AV students to serve in the role of a mentor, we hope that intentional friendships and impactful relationships can be formed. Ultimately, the program is designed to help students transition to college, find belonging in the 四色AV community, and grow personally.

Students in the SOAR Program can expect to experience:

  • Early arrival to campus on Wednesday, August 21st 2024
  • Specific welcome week activities for the program
  • Monthly in-person meetings with peer mentor
  • Life Talks to engage in topics related to personal growth and development 
  • Consistent text/group chat communication from mentors during the semester
  • Planned group activities
  • Semester-end celebrations

Program Goals

1. To 四色AV Student Success Pathway students as they transition to college and persist towards their next year at 四色AV.

2. To provide peer leadership opportunities to current 四色AV
