One of the great things about being a new Hokie in engineering is the amount of support you can receive from your upper-class peers who genuinely want to do whatever they can to help you have the best first semester possible. Through the CEED Peer Mentoring Program you will be assigned to a small group of about 10 freshmen and one upper class mentor. You will get together and talk about typical first year issues – finding campus resources, connecting with faculty, exploring undergraduate research, and asking any questions you have about getting connected on campus. You also have an instant group of friends and potential study partners. We also plan some large social events for all the participants so you can meet others outside your small group. This is great way to start your first semester as a Hokie!
Groups Include:
- AHORA (Academic Hispanic OutReach Alliance)
- BEST (Black Engineering Support Teams)
- GUEST (General Undergraduate Engineering Support Teams)
- WEST (Women in Engineering Support Teams)
