DASS Peer Mentor Program
A DASS Peer Mentor is Here to Help
The DASS Peer Mentor Program is a free service that helps new students with disabilities to transition successfully to 51³Ô¹ÏÍøand then continue that success. Peer mentors offer practical support, encouragement, and peer-to-peer insight on academic life, campus resources, and navigating 51³Ô¹ÏÍøwith a disability. The program fosters connection, guidance, and empowerment.
