Peer Mentors
Each advising cohort, whether first-year or transfer, will have an assigned peer mentor. Peer mentors are current students in your area of interest who are a resource to help as you transition into and learn to navigate Saint Mary's. They are available to answer any questions you may have about your time at SMC.
Please see below for your peer mentor's email address to contact them and schedule a check-in.
Two of our peer mentors are also available in the Advising Office Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from 9:00am-1:30pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:00am-12:00pm. To schedule a meeting with them, please email Gabbi Malam or Dylan Cazin or call the adivising office at (925) 631-8274.
