Emmanuel is a senior Accounting major who enjoys playing Basketball and learning new subjects.
He has flourished as a leader in the FYE Peer Mentor Program and wants to share his experience with others.
What made you want to become a peer mentor? I wanted to help freshman students be successful. I wanted to share knowledge that I wish I had known as a freshman myself.
Did your responsibilities as a peer mentor interfere with your studies? Not at all! Being a peer mentor is just like having any other job. How much time it takes away from your studies is up to you.
How did you balance school work, campus involvement and the peer mentor position? I gave my classes top priority then the peer mentor position and any on campus involvement came afterward.
What did you gain from being a Peer Mentor? I gained more knowledge about myself and others. I was interesting. I also learned more about my leadership style.
What piece of advice would you offer a student seeking to be a peer mentor? Be willing to share and give back. Be positive!
