UReach Peer Mentor Program

UREACH PEER MENTOR PROGRAM

The CDA’s UREACH Peer Mentor Program is designed to support students with disabilities at the University of Utah. Students must be registered with the Center for Disability and Access to participate in the program. Students meet one on one with a peer mentor throughout the semester or the school year. The program helps students connect to a social network on campus, learn about campus resources, build self-advocacy skills, understand the accommodation process, and learn executive functioning skills for college.

Expectations of the program: Students must meet with their mentor at least twice a month to stay in the program. Students will be asked to complete a pre program and post program survey. Communication will be done through Microsoft Teams which is a free resource through a University of Utah student account.

For more information and details on our program, please review our UReach Flyer.

Hobbies/Fun Facts: When I do not have my eyes glued to a computer screen, I love to dance and take on all sorts of craft projects (many of which remain unfinished). My favorite styles of dance are ballet, jazz, and tap. I’m also a huge fan of music (alternative and indie) and enjoy going to concerts as often as possible. Lastly, I have ADHD, which I like to see as a superpower that makes me even more awesome!
