4D Peer Mentor

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.
