    Episode 36 – Black Student Peer Mentoring
    First Generation - One of Many

Black Student Peer Mentoring

As students enrolling at universities and colleges continue to become more diverse, the need for various and specified types of support is equally surging. Efforts to broaden access to higher education are outpacing campuses’ abilities to ensure equity after students are enrolled. In response to many black students’ experiences of not finding the support or mentoring they hoped for at Chico State, two black professionals are leading the Black Student Peer Mentoring program. Please tune in to this episode to hear more about the evolution of Black Student Peer Mentoring and what is happening now.
