Peer Mentorship
Peer+Connect is a peer-to-peer student mentorship program through Richmont Graduate University that is offered to new students as a way to provide support and connection as they transition to graduate school.

Application deadlines for Peer+Connect are the following:

  • Fall Semester | Due September 1
  • Spring Semester | Due January 1

As a Peer Mentor, you agree to:

  • Commit to being a mentor for one semester.
  • Serve as a source of support and encouragement to new students as they adjust to graduate school.
  • Initiate contact (once the Office of Student Success pairs you with a mentee).
  • Be in contact twice a month via the best form of contact (e.g. Text, email, Marco Polo, FaceTime).
  • Connect in-person (or virtually) at least twice per semester.
  • Discuss expectations regarding mentorship at the beginning. I’ve received feedback that this is helpful to do!
  • While you are a Student Mentor, you are not their academic advisor or counselor, so please encourage them to seek out other university resources to meet those needs (e.g. Counseling & Spiritual Direction Resource List on the Student Resource website).
