Peer Mentoring Program:
The goal of peer mentoring is to connect younger and older engineering students through a mentoring relationship in which both mentor and mentee can develop their leadership styles, interpersonal skills, and personal goals. This mentoring program allows students to understand and refine their objectives and expectations during their time at CSU, and gain valuable insight on classes and coursework, professional development, and other goals they might have for their future years at CSU. Through the program, students are able to:

join the Professional Mentoring Program when they become upperclassmen.
