Who We Are

Northeast State Peer Mentoring is a program designed to provide students one on one support during their time at Northeast State. We pair incoming freshmen, dual enrollment, and returning students who want additional support with successful second year students. Our mentors offer personalized social and academic support to each mentee. Our mentors also take an active approach to offer tutoring in statistics (MATH 1530) and writing (ENGL 1010). Our program outcomes collected at the end of each semester indicate that students who are active participants surpass the program goal of an average 2.0 GPA. overall and for both MATH 1530 and ENGL 1010.

We are here to answer any questions and help you through any obstacle you may face as you work toward your degree. We work hard to get students connected to any resources they need.
