Peer - to - Peer Registration

Description: The Peer to Peer Mentor Program aims to make the transition into college life much smoother for incoming Hispanic-Latino students at the University of Florida. This semester long program for incoming freshmen and transfer students is designed to connect participants with campus resources, a peer support network, and opportunities for involvement with student organizations.

Students selected for this wonderful program will be matched with a mentor at the beginning of the fall semester. Mentors will be current Hispanic-Latino students who are active with La Casita and are leaders in their respective organizations.
