| Pack Promise Scholars - Peer Mentor Program
The Office of Advising Support, Information and Services (OASIS) is looking for students interested in mentoring Pack Promise first-year students. Our office is committed to meeting the transitional needs of Pack Promise Scholars by developing connections with current students, resources and campus representatives with the intent to aid in the smooth transition from high school to the college environment.
The Peer Mentor Program pairs first year Pack Promise Scholars with second year Pack Promise Scholars in order to provide support throughout during the academic year.
