Peer Mentors

Environmental Studies peer mentors meet with prospective and current majors to provide advice and information about the EVST Program and Major. They can answer questions about what it’s like to major in EVST, what classes you may wish to take in the major, and how to find your concentration courses. First-year and sophomore students are encouraged to contact EVST Mentors with questions about EVST.

Environmental Studies Peer Mentors also serve on an advisory committee that meets at regular intervals during the year to review aspects of the program’s undergraduate curriculum as it affects both majors and non-majors. The committee advises the EVST program on ideas for new courses and programs, the improvement of instruction or advising, and proposed changes in the requirements of the major.
