When running a peer mentoring program, it is important to ensure that the mentors are prepared for their roles and that a plan is in place for the continuity of the program. The Learning with Academic Partners (LEAP) program hires 50-60 near peer mentors each year to assist first-year engineering students. Our program implements student leadership in the running of the program. These student leaders assist with the day-to-day tasks, training, professional development, and hiring of our peer mentors. This presentation will focus on the strategies we use to ensure continuity in student leadership as these student leaders graduate.
