Are you a new first-year or transfer student and are interested in professional development support? The Peer Guide Mentorship Program is accepting applications for the Spring 2021 semester.

The Peer Guides provide individual professional development support to students by discussing career resources and sharing their own experiences with navigating internships, career exploration, networking, and getting involved on campus. Participants will discuss and explore professional development topics with an assigned Peer Guide Mentor. The program is a one-semester commitment and is individually designed to support students -- space is limited. Any Belk College of Business student who is interested in receiving individual professional development support can apply but priority is granted to new students from underrepresented backgrounds (students of color, low socioeconomic status, and/or first-generation) or students who otherwise may not have a professional support structure. Participants are expected to meet with their mentor twice per month throughout the semester.

For more information, please visit: https://belkcollege.uncc.edu/peer-guides
