Our Mission

The mission of the Office of Peer Mentoring is to help incoming students to successfully integrate into the campus community by offering support in connecting to college resources, advisors, and staff as well as community resources when applicable. Peer Mentors will actively listen and engage in conversations with assigned students in an effort to inspire mentees to think critically and to persist in finding solutions when they encounter obstacles to their success so that they may stay motivated and persist in their education at NSCC.
