Peer Mentors

The Peer Mentor Program is designed to help new BIS students become acquainted with the BIS program, support those further along in their degrees, and foster a sense of community by hosting events and aiding in the New Student Orientation. As a student run organization, the Peer Mentor Program unifies peers as a community of thriving and successful students, and is guided by the foundational principles of the University of Virginia: honor, trust, integrity and respect.

The Structure of Peer Mentors and How it Works
When students enter BIS, they have the opportunity to be paired with a Peer Mentor who can offer guidance and support from the student perspective.
