ExSEL Peer Mentors

Each ExSEL participant will be paired with a Peer Mentor Group.  The Peer Mentor Group is lead by an upperclassman who is often a past participant of the ExSEL program. Students and their mentors will arrange a regular meeting time and to get together once a week

Peer Mentor Groups provide an opportunity for students to share experiences and ask questions from an upperclass student and their peers.  The primary function is to provide advice on how to successfully navigate the first year at Michigan Tech.  Examples would be:

• Relaying successful study strategies
• Helping with scheduling and time management
• Talking about how to use campus resources
• Discussing campus events and activities
