Peer Mentorship

The Student Coordinator role is a position of student leadership within the New Student & Family Programs team. Student Coordinators will support the team in the planning and coordination of student transition to DU, as well as overseeing a team of 4D Peer Mentors through Discoveries Orientation and into the Fall Quarter. In this work, they will help oversee the 4D Peer Mentor recruitment, training and development, office communications, the logistical details of all New Student and Family Programs programming, First Year & Transfer Student Experience Programming, First Ascent, Mentorship Meetings, and other duties as assigned. Throughout the academic year, this role will evolve to meet the needs of the New Student and Family Programs office.

This position is posted at the end of Fall Quarter and any former 4D Peer Mentor in good standing is eligible to apply. The role runs for one calendar year starting in January. If you are interested in learning more about the office and opportunity, please contact our office at Discoveries@du.edu. 

The 4D Peer Mentor is a dynamic role, that mirrors that of the DU Student Experience. By engaging with and through the 4D model, 4D Peer Mentor guides incoming students to create a sense of belonging and community during Discoveries Orientation week through the establishment of a relationship with their associated FSEM course and build on these relationships through First Ascent or on-campus First Year Programming. In these spaces and conversations, 4D Peer Mentors will model the roles and responsibilities of DU community members and thus empower their first-year student mentees to thrive at and beyond the university, as defined by the 4D Student Experience.
