Peer Mentors
All of our Mentors are alumni of ELASP and are excited to support your transition.
Our mentors organize numerous small group activities designed to help new students get connected, make friends, and learn the ins and outs of Bauer.
Your peer mentor is here to help you:
- Meet new people
- Get you connected to campus activities, clubs and organizations
- Help you to navigate the UH campus
- Learn strategies for being successful in your classes (ex. how to interact with your professors, organize study groups, etc.)
- Learn about and use academic and personal support resources at the university; such as the Writing Center, Learning Support Services, and the Health Center

Brown
ELASP 2024 Cohort
I chose to become a peer mentor to guide incoming transfer students and help them successfully transition from community college to the University of Houston. I understand how challenging this process can be and want to serve as a light, helping students find their way in Bauer.
Maria Garcia-Adjuntas
ELASP 2024 Cohort
I joined the ELASP program as a mentor to help students feel empowered and achieve their full potential in both academic and career pursuits. As a transfer student, I initially struggled to navigate the resources and opportunities offered by the Bauer College of Business. Now, I aim to ensure my mentees take full advantage of these resources. I encourage members to engage fully, as increased involvement leads to valuable skill development, stronger relationships, and significant personal and professional growth.

ELASP 2024 Cohort
I am excited to serve as a peer mentor for ELASP this semester! Having experienced the challenges of transitioning to a new college myself, I understand how overwhelming it can be to adapt to a new academic environment. I became a peer mentor to share insights and provide guidance to new transfer students as they navigate their journey at UH and Bauer.
