Peer Mentors

VANS (Vikings Assisting New Students) is a group of student orientation leaders who work with new freshmen and transfer students during the New Student Orientation program. Members serve as peer educators, tour guides, and discussion leaders in Counseling Center activities. VANS receive training to become peer educators through the BACCHUS and GAMMA Peer Education network, a national organization designed to support peer education on college campuses. Interested students must have a 2.5 GPA and complete an application process by set deadlines in November.
