[Natfinwellness] Peer Mentor Qualifications

[Ashton, Bryan]

Hi Kelsey!

We look predominately at 1st and 2nd year students in the College of Business and related fields.

We also look for a GPA of a 3.0 and above.  Additionally, Jared Pickens did his PhD dissertation on selecting of peer mentors.  I have a note out to him to see if we may be able to share his results on this listserv.

Have a great weekend!

Bryan

Subject: [Natfinwellness] Peer Mentor Qualifications
Happy Friday Everyone!

We are currently working on a proposal for a peer mentor program and were hoping for a bit of feedback from others on the qualifications you look for when hiring peer mentors.  If you have peer mentors what are your desired and/or required qualifications for them?  Some things we are thinking about is required GPA, grade level, experience, and any other skills you might look for.

If you have any info you could pass onto us that would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance for taking the time to reply!
