Peer Mxntors



All Summer Bridge students will be supported by a peer mxntor who works with them from the start of the 5-week program to the end of their first year. 

Peer Mxntors:

  • Are a critical part of your transition to UC San Diego
  • Serve as a resource for campus information
  • Empower students to explore a variety of academic, social, and personal concerns

Peer Mxntors support Summer Bridge students through the following opportunities:

  • Weekly cohort meetings during the summer
  • Meet 3-4 times during each academic quarter in the first year

Student reflections:

  • "My peer mxntor was always there for my cohort and me. He made my time at UCSD a great one by telling us about the resources, study areas, and different study techniques that worked for him. He also went out of his way to make our cohort meetings fun. Activities included movie night, taco night, game night, watching the sunset at The Cliffs, and more."
  • "I cherish the experiences I have with my mxntor 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!’

Smart, talented, hard-working, and informative, [My peer mxntor] was an excellent resource. I hope she reads this so she can know what a positive impact she was on my own experience."
  • "[My peer mxntor] was a great peer mxntor, 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"
