Peer Mentors & LSSA
Within the College of Education, students are kept in mind with a vast number of opportunities provided in order to enhance professional and personal growth during their studies here at CSULB.
Are you a student who wants to be involved on their campus and/or within their community, beyond the experiences with the classroom? Take a look below!
Peer Mentors are student representatives specifically associated with the Department of Liberal Studies, whom provide a wide range of services to fellow students as well as assistance to professional advisors. These student employees serve as guides to their fellow peers, through offering assistance with academic planning, scholarship and credentialing applications, e-advising tools, and much more. And while they aren't assisting other students, they provide support to professional advisors with campus events, creating fliers and documents, and data entry.
