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
Fall 2025 ELASP for Transfers
Meet the Peer Mentors
Talia
Quintana
Class of 2025
I became a mentor for the ELASP Peer Team because it had a positive impact on my own experience as a transfer student, making me feel supported and welcomed. I wanted to give back by helping future transfer students feel comfortable and confident during their transitions.

My ELASP experience as both a mentee and mentor has been rewarding by helping me build social connections and exploring my opportunities. It has also strengthened my self-confidence, public speaking, and communication skills.
Savannah
Wasielewski
Class of 2025
ELASP helped me connect with my peers as a commuting transfer student and was key to my future successes at the University of Houston. It led me to attend a career fair that resulted in an internship offer and encouraged me to join other student organizations like Beta Alpha Psi.

ELASP made my transition to the University of Houston smoother by providing valuable academic and professional resources. The workshops and mentor sessions helped me connect with others and feel more at home on campus.
