Living Learning Communities (LLCs) believes strongly in the importance and value of peer-to-peer education and support. Our Peer Mentors provide encouragement, leadership and academic support to incoming LLC residents that is impactful and lasting. Although not required, most Peer Mentors previously lived in the same LLC for which they serve now. This familiarity with course(s), instructors, activities and events, and community living has many positives and allows the Peer Mentors to continue their relationships with LLCs beyond their first year on campus.
In Fall 2026, the Peer Mentor positions will serve 10 of our LLCs:
- Creativity, Innovation and Entrepreneurship Living Learning Community
- Design Living Learning Community
- Engineering and Computer Science Living Learning Community (2 Peer Mentors)
- Exercise Science Living Learning Community
- Honors Living Learning Community (6 Peer Mentors)
- International Relations Living Learning Community
- Maxwell Living Learning Community
- Science, Technology and Math (STM) Living Learning Community
- Sport Analytics Living Learning Community
- Whitman Living Learning Community
