Apply to be a DASSA peer mentor
The Division of Academic Success and Student Affairs, or DASSA, is seeking applicants to serve as peer mentors during the fall 2024 and spring 2024 semesters. DASSA peer mentors are students who offer personalized guidance and support to K-State's first-year students. The Staley School of Leadership is supporting this initiative by providing credit-bearing training and development to the peer mentors.
DASSA peer mentors are required to facilitate small group discussions, provide one-on-one connection opportunities with mentees and perform administrative functions, such as report writing, attendance, etc. Peer mentors provide personalized guidance and support to new students at K-State, helping them foster meaningful connections and develop skills for success. A peer mentor has confidence, good time management skills, the ability to listen to and understand others and is motivated to improve themself and others. All students who have been studying at K-State for longer than a year are welcome to apply.
DASSA peer mentors will work 5-7 hours per week for all academic weeks of the fall 2024 and spring 2025 semester at $11 per hour.
