  4. Horizons Peer Mentor Program The peer mentoring program is a great way to make friends and to be comfortable in the classroom…This is one class that I am always excited to go to because we talk about deeper things than just your regular classroom material. – Rachel, freshman

  5. Horizons Peer Mentor Program I’ve been in the Horizons mentoring program for less than a month, but I already feel at home. – Joe, Freshman

  9. Horizons Peer Mentor Program I did not know what to expect from this class or what I would get out of this class. I didn’t even know it was going to impact my life as much as it has. – Ana, Sophomore

  10. Horizons Peer Mentor Program Self-refection is a concept that I would have never contemplated and considered before. Self-reflection has provided me with information about my own tendencies and idiosyncrasies, in turn allowing me to recognize my own strengths and weaknesses …The end result is a better me. This gives me the ability to be a more efficient helper, student, mentor, and person. – Ajmal, Sophomore

  11. Horizons Peer Mentor Program From open-ended questions, to confrontation, to assertiveness, to empathy, you taught me skills that will aid me in not only being a good mentor, but also a well-rounded individual. – Jeremy, Sophomore

  12. Horizons Peer Mentor Program To me, it is not just a class to teach you how to mentor incoming freshman, but it is a class that teaches you about interactions in your everyday life. – Becca, Junior

  14. Horizons Peer Mentor Program Being a mentor gives me a sense of accomplishment, giving back to the organization that gives me so much. – Kellie, Sophomore

  15. Horizons Peer Mentor Program I’ve learned so many things since I have been at Purdue and I think it is great that I get to give it back to my mentoring group. – Mel’Dre, Sophomore

  16. Horizons Peer Mentor Program The peer mentoring program has given me an entire extended family. I still talk and get lunch with my friends from the classes I’ve taken. I’ve considered dropping out on a number of occasions and my Horizons mentoring family has been my number one reason to stay. – Max, Junior
