Get Connected

Get connected with the Transfer Student Peer Mentorship Program. Transfer Peer Mentors (TPMs) serve as student leaders, assisting incoming transfer students with their transition to the University of ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ Boulder. TPMs provide a network of support for incoming transfer students by serving as a mentor, connecting them to campus resources, planning programs that will aid in their transition to college, and working with New Student & Family Programs and other campus offices to plan, promote and implement initiatives specifically focused on transfer students.
