Abstract

Precipitated by a surge in enrollment, authors describe the three-phase revision (2017–2021) of a first-year peer mentoring program in honors. Grounded in student input and leadership, large-scale programmatic changes involve curriculum expansion, student leadership development, and co-curricular experiential support. Program objectives, implementation, and outcomes are described.
