Learning Community Mentors are upper-class students who provide support for first-year students and work with faculty and staff to enhance the first-year experience of these students. The purpose of the Peer Mentor is to encourage and assist first-year students in their social and academic transition to UNL. Some of the typical responsibilities of mentors include:

• Planning and leading co-curricular programs

• Maintaining regular contact with students in their Learning Community

• Working as a liaison between the students and faculty in a Learning Community

• Being a team player on the Learning Community team

Mentors work an average of 6-7 hours/week and are compensated hourly at a rate of $9.25/hour. A 3.0 cumulative GPA is required to serve as a Learning Community Peer Mentor.

If you have not served as a mentor through Learning Communities, interviews will be held on Saturday, March 6, 2020. It is essential that you are available this weekend.
