Mentorship is a cornerstone of the PEER program and the PEER Mentors create and foster both formal and informal mentoring opportunities for PEER Scholars. PEER Mentors are made up of faculty and administration at UT and they participate and lead in a number of PEER events such as the Discourse Meetings.
