Peer Mentors assist FYI 100 faculty within their course and serve as advocates for the needs, interests, and rights of first-year students. Peer Mentors are involved in many aspects of FYI 100 (First Year Introduction) course instruction, which may include syllabus planning, facilitating class discussions, and spending out-of-class time with students. The peer mentor role focuses on teaching first-year students about Eastern's resources, helping students to connect with groups on campus, and guiding discussions on college survival skills such as time management, advising, registration, and financial literacy, while also preparing students to be sustainable citizens by discussing ethical, social, and environmental issues.
FYI 100 course topics cover environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Some courses for fall 2022 include Antiracism & Social Justice, Ethics of Virtual Worlds, Exile in the Global Age, Living in a Diverse World, Our Parks Along the Trail, and Sex, Social Justice, & Spoken Word.
