Peer Mentorship

All first years are paired with an upper-class GSP mentor who provides advice and support, based on their own experiences of learning how to navigate the transition to life as a college student.

Applications for upper-class students to become peer mentors go out each spring, and matches are made late July. For more information, you can reach out to gspeermentors@georgetown.edu.

Peer mentors are invaluable in helping first year students transition to life on the Hilltop! Being a peer mentor is a significant but very enjoyable and rewarding responsibility. Some responsibilities include the following:

• Serve as an active resource for your mentee throughout the school year.
• Physically meet with your mentee at least once a month throughout the academic year.
• Answer any questions about Georgetown, pre-registration, college life, GSP resources, etc.
• Attend a mandatory training session in the Fall semester.
• Attend Peer Mentor Program events throughout the year.
• Encourage your mentee to attend GSP events and go with them!
• Have fun and grow as both a leader and inspiration to your community!!!
