Dear Campus Partners,

I hope this email finds you well! The ONDAS Student Center and Transfer Student Center (TSC) Peer Mentor application CLOSES TOMORROW (Jan. 30th)! We are seeking enthusiastic, motivated students to join our team and help their peers navigate UCSB, build community, and provide support in an academic and social environment.

As campus partners, we would greatly appreciate it if you could share this opportunity with your student communities, particularly those who are first-generation or transfer students. The Peer Mentor role is a great way for students to develop leadership skills, build connections across campus, have flexible hours that put their studies first, and positively impact their peers' experiences at UCSB.
