The Peer Navigator Program is designed to connect students with upperclassmen for regular support and mentorship. The program matches you with a peer navigator for regular meetings that encourage, give direction, and help you navigate the university successfully at no cost. Our peer navigators focus on holistic well-being by providing support, problem-solving, and goal-setting tips that assist you in reaching your educational goals.

 The Peer Navigator Program seeks to:

  • Increase sense of belonging with a built-in peer support system
  • Initiate early intervention strategies as needed
  • Provide an additional touch point via regular follow up
  • Identify barriers prohibiting student success
  • Allow students to see their peers model excellence
  • Assist in the transition between high school and university life
  • Promote healthy classroom behaviors

If you are interested in getting support from a peer navigator, apply today. 

Once your application is received and reviewed, you will be contacted directly by a member of the Academic Engagement Team. For questions, email catherine.hernandez@wright.edu.
