Regularly scheduled SI gives students the opportunities to discuss readings, develop organizational tools, compare notes, and learn to study strategically. Only available to BSN students.

Peer mentors work with new students and educate them on campus resources, academic support, and co-curricular activities. Mentors play an active role during new student orientation and throughout the first semester as new students are full of questions and face new challenges for the first time. Peer Mentors are expected to support the Student Success Center in developing a sense of community and supporting the needs of new nursing students.
