CoJMC Peer Mentors

The first semester of college is a challenging time of transition. Our hope with having peer mentors is that our first-year students will feel supported by the CoJMC from day one. Our peer mentors serve as our student's first go-to when they need someone to talk to. The peer mentor program was developed so that we can welcome our new students right into our CoJMC family!
