[Natfinwellness] Peer Mentor Qualifications

[Niki Pechinski]

Hi Kelsey,

We do not have a traditional peer mentor program at UMD but this semester
we are training 10 students through a two-credit course and accompanying
program called the Financial Peer Mentor Program (FPMP). The students learn
financial basics and mentoring skills. Those students are then paired with
a mentee to pass on their financial knowledge.

More information about FPMP is available here

Have a great weekend,
Niki
