Relationships in STEM Education (RiSE)

The RiSE Peer Mentor Program offers peer mentorship to first-year students in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), with a specific focus in biology/pre-nursing, computer science, and engineering. Mentors are knowledgeable guides who act as a role model and can connect you to the right people and resources on campus to help you succeed.

Benefits for RiSE students: 

  • learn about resources and opportunities and where to get the support you need
  • increased confidence and self-efficacy
  • knowledge of your program and career opportunities 
  • connect with another student and have someone to talk to
