Autumn-Raine Martinez Named Peer Mentor at Alvernia University

2015 Oct 6

Autumn-Raine Martinez of East Elmhurst, N.Y., has been named a Peer Mentor for the fall 2015 semester. Martinez is majoring in Occupational Therapy at Alvernia University and is a graduate of Saint Francis Preparatory School.

Every First Year Seminar class at Alvernia University is assigned a Peer Mentor. These mentors are high-achieving, upper-division students who act as guides and additional resources for first year students, as they adjust to college life and academic expectations.

Each mentor establishes his or her unique relationship with students in his or her section, but all students can expect peer mentors to model successful time management techniques, help them learn how to find and use information about student support services, and guide them toward informed decision making.
