Student reflections:
- "I cherish the experiences I have with my peer navigators so much! We had very philosophical conversations and got to know each other on a deep level. I really resonated with her personality, and I'm so excited to reconnect with her (and my cohort) during the school year. She's awesome!’
"[Mypeer navigators] were so kind, caring, and dedicated, and they were amazing peer navigators. I knew she cared about me, but she was also professional when necessary. Smart, talented, hard-working, and informative, [my peer navigators] were an excellent resource. I hope she reads this so she can know what a positive impact she had on my own experience."
- "[My peer navigator] was a great peer navigator, and I had a great time in her cohort. It was fun and helpful, and she did all she could to accommodate us. 12/10"
