Peer Mentoring
The SEEK Peer Mentoring Program at Baruch provides upperclassmen the opportunity to influence and inspire incoming first-year students during the SEEK Summer Academy and the academic year. By serving as mentors for the incoming first year students, not only do mentors strengthen their own leadership potential, but also support the development and transition of their mentees into college.
