What is the value of peer mentoring?
A peer mentoring relationship can serve as an effective method to help colleges design and enhance intervention strategies and to support relationship-building among schools. A mentoring experience can promote new learning and inform the conversation around effective interventions for improving student access to, preparation for, and persistence in postsecondary education. In addition, it allows participants to benefit from expertise to which they might not otherwise have access. While peer mentoring may focus on a specific initiative, it has the potential to more broadly affect the college and its students.
