The Peer Consulting/Mentoring Program offers faculty a wide variety of options to receive additional support in teaching, research, and service. Faculty may request two teaching-related feedback types from the Peer Consulting/Mentoring Program.

In a collaborative initiative between the Office for Accessible Campus Community & Equitable Student Support (ACCESS) and the Office of Institutional Diversity and Inclusion, the BUILD mentoring program was developed.
BUILD is specifically designed to take diverse learners from admission to graduation and beyond with early outreach to discuss transition from high school to college-level accommodations, tailored guidance through higher education, and skills development exercises to prepare for graduation and post-secondary employment. Student participants will be paired with supportive mentors and take part in several engagement activities designed to heighten authentic and successful partnerships rooted in appreciative inquiry, empathy and active listening. Partnerships will be carefully selected on the basis of factors such as diagnosis/disability, academic discipline or personal interests.
Mentors meet with students on a regular basis and assist students in strategizing about the complexities of university life. Specifically, the BUILD mentor will aid students in goal setting, self-advocacy, academic preparedness and self-care.
