The Opus College of Engineering Peer Mentoring Program is designed to help current students navigate their first and second years on campus. This program provides an opportunity for students to connect with student leaders for advice and stories on how to succeed as engineers.

Students are encouraged to ask academic, social and professional questions, or just start a discussion about their experiences.

Topics include:

  • Advice for navigating course work
  • Homework and study tips
  • Resources to explore at Marquette and beyond
  • Healthy habits
  • Weekend activities and social advice
  • Co-op, internship and research advice

How to meet:

Students are encouraged to schedule time with the peer mentors directly. We recommend students:

  1. Read through the peer mentors descriptions below
  2. Pick a mentor to meet with and contact them via email to set up an appointment
  3. Share your availability via email and communicate directly to find a time
