The Peer Mentoring program matches incoming students with trained upper-class students, to help guide them through their transition to Brockport.
Peer Mentors (PMs) are paid, trained, and dedicated student leaders who collaborate with the Academic Success Coordinator to support new students with their transition to SUNY Brockport. Peer Mentors play a vital role in mentoring incoming students through their partnership with the Academic Planning Seminar, Welcome Week, and additional programs throughout Fall and Spring.
Focus Areas
Peer Mentors focus on three key areas of student development: (a) academic advisement, (b) study skills, and (c) getting involved. Use Eagle Connect to find our workshops that are relevant and available to all students! Common themes include:
Whether you are here for your GEP class, or are just looking to connect, any student may meet with any Peer Mentor on campus. With our new Peer Network model, we encourage you to create as many meaningful connections as possible. Read about our Peer Mentors below—and come book a meeting with us (Bookings)!

Peer Mentor Coordinators
Peer Mentor Coordinators are student leaders who work alongside the Program Coordinator and serve as a mentor and point of contact for the Peer Mentor Program.
These individuals have served in the role of Peer Mentor in the past and are looking to advance their leadership role in the program. Peer Mentor Coordinators also work on advancing Second-Year Experience programs on campus.
Peer Mentor Application
Applications are posted on Handshake during the beginning of Spring to prepare for Fall employment. For more information, reach out to reach out to Zachary Davidson at zdavidson@brockport.edu.
