A Partner Impact Webinar with San Francisco State University
July 17, 2024 @ 11 am PST/ 2 pm EST | Format: Online | Program Type: Webinar
According to a 2023 Anthology report, nearly half of incoming college students - 48% - doubt their ability to succeed in college when first enrolling. And while increased administrative and academic supports do move the needle on this figure, as an industry we’re learning that it’s not faculty, staff, or administrators who students turn to to cultivate confidence and competence on campus. It’s their peers.
'Attend this webinar to learn how San Francisco State University leveraged peer mentorship as part of its student success strategy.
By attending this event, you’ll learn:
- How San Francisco State University sought to make mentorship a cornerstone of their strategic plan and retention strategy
- How this Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) ensured that historically underserved students were centered in the program development process
- How they unify multiple mentorship programs on the Mentor Collective platform to track and deliver impact for over 4,000 students
- How they ensure consistent engagement among students over the course of the school year
Join Susanna Jones - First-Year Experience Faculty Director, Marisa Jimison - Transfer Support Coordinator, and Joe Michie - Senior Director of University Relations at Mentor Collective, for a deeper look at SFSU’s Peer2Peer program, and how it:
- Has retained 4x the number of Latinx students (versus those who did not take part in the program).
- Has grown in participation by 440% since its start in 2019, creating access points and fostering belonging at scale
- Has engaged students, with over 100,000 text messages sent between mentors and mentees
