Queen's University
Indigenous Peer Mentor Program
The Indigenous Peer Mentor program matches upper-year Indigenous students with first year Indigenous students. This provides first year Indigenous students with the opportunity to learn from an upper-year Indigenous student who can share their experiences of being a first year student and how they successfully completed one or more academic years at Queen’s U. The goal of the program is to assist students in navigating the transition and developing skills needed to be successful at university. Indigenous peer mentors form meaningful relationships and promote wellbeing for Indigenous students.
