STARS Peer Mentors
The STARS I Program matches our STARS first-year students with upper-level students who serve as Peer Mentors to them during their first year at Yale. Mentors help orient students to the different resources available to them as STARS scholars, especially the STARS study sessions. Peer Mentors help support the first-year cohort by offering advice and guidance and are, therefore, asked to meet with the first-years individually and as a group. Students interested in the mentor position must complete a STARS Peer Mentor application by 11:00pm, Friday, April 12, 2024. Selections will be made by the end of the spring ‘24 term.
