Peer Mentors are hired to serve as a liaison between the university and students participating in Operation: Return to The Beach. Peer Mentors serve as contacts/connections to CSLUB for students currently on an Educational Leave of Absence. During their first year apart from the university, students will be contacted by their Peer Mentor, who will provide them with updates and information about upcoming programs and campus news. Peer Mentors also provide these students with someone to talk to, ask advice of and help to stay connected to CSULB while separated from the institution. Once students return to the university, their peer mentor will stay in contact with them throughout their first year back and will meet with them monthly to assure that they stay on track.
