What is Peer Academic Coaching?

Peer academic coaching pairs first-year students in the College Assistance Migrant  Program (CAMP) with CAMP upperclassmen who have successfully completed their first year as students at the university. This mentor-mentee relationship helps to provide students with some of the basic tools necessary for success in higher education.

Mission Statement:

Peer Academic Coaches strive to provide students with the necessary skills and tools to excel throughout their academic and social collegiate experiences. We strive to provide a rewarding experience that promotes the assets necessary to succeed in college—such as self-reliance, independent learning and discipline. Through mentorship and the sharing of resources, we pledge to fully apply ourselves to be a support system for students as they make the transition into higher education.
