The Office of Academic Advising and Learning Development is delighted to introduce the Peer Partnership Program for traditional students.
The overall purpose of the Peer Partnership program is to facilitate traditional students transitioning to the College of Nursing.
The program will provide peer mentoring for traditional first and second year traditional nursing students by senior traditional students in order to foster a connection with the College of Nursing.
The program will also provide traditional senior students an opportunity to develop their mentoring skills by using their NYUCN experiences to support first and second year students during their transition to the College of Nursing.
Goals
- For traditional four year students to feel more connected to the College of Nursing
- To provide an informal opportunity for peers to receive additional information about their courses and related learning experiences as well as other NYUCN and NYU resources.
- To provide Peer Partners an opportunity to learn and practice informal mentoring skills
Peer Partners will share their experiences with traditional students related to:
- Course expectations including on and off campus clinicals
- Time management skills for balancing course work and student life
- Undergraduate nursing organization (UNSO)
- NUSI Blackboard
- NYU student clubs and other resources
- Student Health and Wellness Center
