My favorite part about being an SDSU Connects peer mentor is becoming more connected with my campus and community through the Mentor & Success Coaching Collective. Before starting this position, I didn't know there were so many different organizations on campus that offer students support and mentoring! This role has helped me gain certifications/experience that are applicable to a wide variety of roles, especially leadership positions. All the trainings I have attended have been informative, interactive fun! For my peers at SDSU, I feel like I have made a positive impact through ensuring they know about and use resources in place that are there to help students.
