Arts Peer Mentoring Program
Two credit courses educate and support senior undergraduate students
as they serve as peer mentors in courses in Arts
and other faculties across the University of Calgary.
Peer mentors collaborate with instructors and teaching assistants
to enrich peer-based learning within their courses.
They may also design and lead learning activities outside of class time and online.

educated and supervised
over 70 undergraduate peer mentors placed with 24 host instructors
and 14 teaching assistants. Peer mentors have enriched learning
within 24 courses
at all levels of study (including 4th
year ).
