, Tutoring, and Mentoring (ATM) program was designed andlaunched. Each year, the FS2 leadership team selects peer mentors (one for each cohort of 15freshmen) from top performing, upper-division students in engineering and CS. The peermentors reach out to their cohorts to meet several times a semester. These peer mentors helpnew students build their aspirations and academic confidence by welcoming and orienting themto the campus and its culture, and sharing with them their own academic/personal experiencesand coping strategies.Faculty and peer mentoring are best practices as recognized by the National Research Council,especially for first-generation students and groups underrepresented in STEM.12 The closepersonal relationship that develops between
