Peer Mentors
Peer mentor support is key to our program’s success and our students. UT Elevated peer mentors are paid, part-time, student employee positions for current UT students. Peer mentors provide academic and social support, help with organizational skills, time management, and lead study groups.
Mentor meetings are regularly occurring meetings, scheduled around both students’ and mentors’ class schedules and other meetings.
Weekly Checkins
Program staff will meet with each student on a weekly basis. This allows the student and staff to connect and determine how the student is doing in the following areas: self-determination, career, academic enrichment (including mentor meetings), independent living skills, and campus and community engagement. These meetings allow for needed problem-solving collaboration and ongoing goal setting. In addition to these weekly check-ins, students participate in a mid-year check-up evaluation and an end-of-semester evaluation.
