PEER MENTORING FOR NATIVE STUDENTS & O'ODHAM KI RESIDENTS
Welcome to the University of Arizona! As you get settled in to school and the semester, you may find that you have more questions than answers. Maybe the adjustment is taking a little longer than you planned, or you just want to speak with someone who understands what you're going through. Thrive Mentoring and the UAHA course, HED 197c Thriving Your First Year. This is a 2-unit course that meets for 10 weeks starting the week of September 19, 2022 (you can still join after this date!). The course includes an in-person discussion session led by a peer mentor, and an online, asynchronous lecture from Brian Palomo, the course instructor.
The NASA-specific section of HED 197c is section 35, led by peer mentor Michael Becenti. It will meet on Wednesdays from 10:00am to 10:50am starting Wednesday, September 21, 2022. We highly recommend you register for this section as it is the time specifically set aside for NASA and O'Odham Ki scholars. If you absolutely cannot make that time, you may register for any of the other 18 sections available on our first-year mentoring registration page.
