Peer Collective Mentorship Program The University of Alabama in Huntsville and Mentor Collective have collaborated to roll out the Peer Collective Mentorship Program. The Peer Collective Mentorship Program enhances the first-year student experience by linking them one-on-one with a peer mentor. First-year students are matched with returning students who are invested in their success — a person ready to listen, inspire, help navigate challenges, and recognize opportunities. Students will learn what to expect in school, how to seek help and resources, and how to approach challenges. At the same time, mentors will build their networks and develop skills to become better leaders. I became a mentor because I want to be able to guide and assist people in times of uncertainty. I can relate to being a new student and feeling overwhelmed by the responsibilities and unknowns of college. I want to offer encouragement and guidance to help lower these worries and to assist in any way I can! I especially hope to help mentees who aren’t sure where to find or access the resources they need." - Isabella, 2025-26 Mentor Navigate UAH With Confidence Your first year of college can feel like a lot—but you don’t have to figure it out alone.
