Raychel Copeland Served as a Peer Mentor at Alvernia University

2014 May 6

Raychel Copeland of Parkesburg, Pa., served as a Peer Mentor for the fall of 2013. A Occupational Therapy major at Alvernia University, Copeland is a graduate of Octorara Area High 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 their 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.
