This peer mentoring session will focus specifically on how peer mentoring can be used in recruiting incoming students to departments. As a corollary, we will talk about using application and recruitment season as an ideal time to start a new peer mentoring program in your department. We will have representatives from departments will established and successful peer mentoring programs to share practical strategies for starting and sustaining programs. In addition to this local body of experts, we will discuss some research-based practices for successful peer mentoring programs. 

This session is for anyone interested in developing, getting involved with, or facilitating peer mentoring within and across departments. Building on the input and suggestions from participants from the most recent peer mentoring event, we will focus on practical strategies for students and departments interested in peer mentoring.
