The School of Government and Public Policy’s Peer Mentors assist our freshmen and transfer students with the transition to the University of Arizona. They assist with freshman and transfer orientations, help plan events for SGPP students, and play a role in recruiting students from the local community colleges and high schools. They also act as a point of contact for students looking for direction to resources as students acclimate.
