Peer Mentoring
The Sociology, Anthropology and Criminal Justice department’s Peer Mentoring Program creates a community for students to work and learn together, allowing students to develop shared experiences and lasting friendships.
Our peer mentors are recruited from all three majors within the department, allowing a specialized approach to suit the specific needs of incoming students to each major. Upperclassmen in the department work with small groups of newly admitted students throughout the academic year.
In addition to small group events hosted by your individual peer mentor, the Program will offer several large-scale social and educational events throughout the academic year. This gives incoming students the opportunity to network with other newly admitted students outside of their immediate major.
If you are a new student in the Department, and did not receive an opt-in form, please contact Holly Williams at hpeasgo@clemson.edu
