Sometimes a peer is able to offer support in ways that professional faculty and staff just can't match. City Tech recognizes the need for students to be supported in many ways, and as such has a variety of Peer Support Programs that you can look to for assistance and/or look to join to become a peer leader.

Student Success Center Peer Coaches

Student Success Center Peer Coaches are upper-level students who help other students navigate college. They support students in accessing resources and problem solving, as well as share tips and tricks of what makes them successful students.

First Year Programs Peer Mentors

First Year Programs Peer Mentors are role models who are eager to share their experiences and knowledge to help incoming City Tech students adjust to college life. Mentors are assigned to students who take City Tech 101 (CT101), ENG1101CO, or are enrolled in a First Year Learning Community.

Perkins Peer Advisors

This program aims to serve females in engineering technology programs in order to retain and graduate them at higher rates. Peer Advisors are upper-level students in engineering technology programs who serve as both academic tutors and mentors to new students.

CREAR Futuros Peer Mentors

The CREAR Futuros (Creating Futures) program, sponsored by the Hispanic Federation, is designed to bring increased attention and resources, as well as improve educational outcomes and economic opportunity for Latinx students and other first-year college students.

Student Life and Development Peer Navigators

The Peer Support Initiative is a series of efforts to assist new and current students with their academic transition into college life. With the assistance of well-trained Peer Leaders, the goal is to encourage a community of academic integration and campus support.

Black Male Initiative (BMI) STEM Peer Tutors

BMI is designed to attract, retain, and graduate students from underrepresented groups in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). Peer Tutors are central to this program as they not only help students with academic struggles, but also serve as mentors and role models. BMI is open to all students.
