Christopher Maniece named UW-Whitewater peer mentor

2013 Sep 19

Christopher Maniece, a senior psychology major from Milwuakee, Wis., has been trained and certified as a University of Wisconsin-Whitewater peer mentor for the 2013-14 academic year.

Each UW-Whitewater peer mentor is assigned a group of new students to help them get comfortable with campus, participate in activities and build relationships.

Mentors help new students all the way through the first semester by guiding them through Club U-Dub-Dub, facilitating New Student Seminar courses and setting them up for social and academic success.

"I'm really proud of this entire staff," said Marie Hornickel, coordinator of the Peer Mentor program. "In the short amount of time that I've known these students, they have proven their leadership skills and passion for helping new students."
