Badge Peer Mentorship for New Transfer Students

What Is A Peer Mentor?

Peer Mentors are students too! They know how it is like to be a CSUN student for the first time and how challenging and intimidating it can be to navigate a whole new campus. With their unique knowledge and experience, they will be there to support you and provide the resources and guidance as you explore all the opportunities as a new transfer student.
