An investment in the New College Peer Mentor Program helps our new students build a community at ASU. Before stepping foot on campus, they connect with peer mentors to directly reduce barriers that lead to summer melt, a failure to attend after admission that happens when students are deterred by insufficient financial aid, missed administrative deadlines, lack of support from loved ones or other obstacles. Our peer mentors reach out to incoming freshman shortly after admission to build rapport and answer critical questions prior to their arrival.
