Most importantly, the students will focus on developing academically with the ultimate goal of student success defined by continous persistence and graduation in four years. An important addition to this year's program are the 16 peer mentors who live in the residence hall for 5 weeks during the summer and lead engagement activities for the students.
See the first few weeks of their journey below in pictures....
Peer Mentors arrived on June 11 for 3 days of training....
Immediately after AE students checked into Rush Hall on June 14, they attended an Opening Session. Students then departed for dinner with the peer mentor staff.
One Day 2, peer mentors led the Aspiring Eagles in an activity called "Share Your Story." Each student paired with someone they did not know and shared descriptions of themselves. They then introduced each other to the entire group.
