Asian Languages & Cultures Peer Mentors are available to prospective and current students. ALC Peer Mentors are declared in our undergraduate programs, including the Asian Languages & Cultures major (focusing on Trans-Asia, East Asia, South Asia, or Southeast Asia), Chinese major, Japanese major, and Chinese or Japanese Professional Communication Certificate. Our peers serve as someone students can turn to for questions about what it’s like to be an ALC student, share information about courses, tips on finding campus resources, or campus/community engagement.

Peer Mentors should already be declared and have taken multiple courses towards their major/certificate.
Benefits to being a Peer Mentor are: Enhancing your resume and reference list; Networking and collaborating with fellow members of the ALC department; and Developing and/or improving your communication and leadership skills.
