Western Michigan University is dedicated to student success. As a result, every first-year and transfer student is enrolled* to receive text and email communication from our Peer2Peer eMentors. Peer2Peer eMentors seek to aid in each student’s transition to WMU’s campus and the community, while being a go-to resource for asking even the simplest questions about campus and life at WMU.
The information and support provided by Peer2Peer eMentors is designed to help these students to:
- Access university resources
- Explore and engage in university life
- Make connections on campus
- Succeed academically and professionally
*Students must be opted-in from their admission process to receive texts and emails from the university in order to be enrolled in the Peer2Peer eMentoring.
How the Program Works
Incoming Broncos will be connected to their eMentors during the first week of fall semester and available for the remainder of their time at Western Michigan University.
Through texts, emails, and social media, eMentors will provide information about resources available at WMU, events that can optimize students' campus experience, and other information and support that will enable students to more easily acclimate to life and learning at Western Michigan University. Peer2Peer eMentors are going to give you the "student answer" to all your questions and will share real and relevant tips for being a successful student at WMU.
Utilizing the WMU Well-being Playbook, eMentors will stress not only the academic deadlines and strategies for academic success, but also techniques in self-care and opportunities to engage across campus and in the community. Peer2Peer eMentors are here to encourage students to create their own playbook that will enable them to make the most out of their experience at WMU, while still making the grade!
Students should never feel alone in navigating campus and life because the Peer2Peer eMentors are just a message away.
