Meet Your Peer Mentors

The WSPH Peer Mentor-Buddy Program facilitates meaningful connections between graduate students and their peers representing diverse backgrounds and experiences across all graduate programs at WSPH. 

 

 

 

The WSPH Student Government Association and the Office of Student Experience designed this initiative to assist new students in navigating the transition into graduate education and acclimating to life both within WSPH and the broader New Orleans community. 

Peer Mentors provide essential support and guidance related to academic matters, student life, community partnerships, and local resources, thereby enhancing students' overall graduate school experience and integration into New Orleans. 

If you have questions or are interested in the program email sphtmstudentexperience@tulane.edu.
