- Organize study groups, social and professional events and out-of class activities.
- Act as role models for students new to Iowa State and connect them with university resources.
Benefits for peer mentors
- $10/hour, 5-10 hours per week on average
- Greenlee peer mentors develop leadership, organization and interpersonal skills needed to become successful, practicing professionals.
- Iowa State University peer mentor looks great on a résumé.
- Each Greenlee peer mentor works about eight hours per week throughout the semester and is paid for their training and mentoring time.
