Hayley Cobb Named a Peer Mentor, Will Guide New Students

2017 Sep 25

Hayley Cobb of Ramsey, N.J., is one of 65 talented students who have been selected as a Lebanon Valley College peer mentor to guide new and transfer students through their first few months at The Valley. Cobb, a graduate of Ramsey High School, is pursuing a bachelor of arts in sociology.

Starting with orientation weekend in August, peer mentors are responsible for assisting new students in succeeding personally, socially, and academically through connections to the College and their peers.

New and transfer students are assigned to a smaller group of other students who likely share the same major. Every group is led by a peer mentor, an upper-class student who has displayed leadership ability and a willingness to assist new students during their first year of college. Peer Mentors serve as positive role models and acquaint all new students with LVC's structure, services, and culture.
