Fall 2026 FY101 Peer Mentor Application

  • Demographic Info

  • We assign Peer Mentors to students from their college. We have FY101 sections for CAS, Questrom, COM and Wheelock students so Peer Mentors must represent one of those colleges. Students from Sargent, CFA, ENG, SHA and CGS are encouraged to apply for leadership positions in their colleges*. *Exceptions include Peer Mentors from SAR, CFA, ENG, CGS, CDS and SHA who want to serve an FY101 First Gen or Transfer Section.
    We have some transfer sections and place some transfer Peer Mentors in those particular sections.
    We have some First Gen (your parents did not attend a 4 year university in the US) sections and will place First Gen Peer Mentors to lead those sections
    We have some CAS Undeclared sections and would like to place Peer Mentors with undeclared backgrounds in those sections.
