Kugelman Honors Mentor

August 2023-Present

As a peer mentor for incoming freshmen, I leveraged the power of the arts to establish meaningful connections with my mentees. Recognizing the importance of effective communication in the transitional phase, I incorporated various artistic mediums, such as visual arts and writing, to engage and connect with my mentees.  This unique approach made the mentoring relationship more personal and enjoyable. It provided a platform for self-discovery and expression, empowering freshmen to explore their voices and perspectives within the college community.
