La Crosse Link Peer Mentoring Program

Do you remember what it was like to be a freshman? Do you recall what it was like starting college and not knowing many people or much about UW-L?

There is an exciting new opportunity being offered for upper class students to mentor new students. La Crosse Link is a peer-mentoring program where you will be assigned a small group of freshman students to meet with over the first 8 weeks of fall semester. Your role will be to assist them in their transition to college and help them make healthy lifestyle choices.

Mentor Expectations:

• Attend a training session
• Establish contact with your freshman during the summer
• Attend the fall kick-off for the peer mentoring program
• Have weekly contact with your new students and plan at least 4 social outings with them
• Be an appropriate role model with your alcohol use, and agree not to drink alcohol at any peer mentor activity (Remain abstinent if under 21)
