Building, Shaping, and Modeling Tools for Literacy Development and Civic Engagement
Abstract
In this chapter, the researchers examine the important inclusion of peer mentors as role models for new students. This is an area of research that has typically been explored with younger student populations and has been limited to the classroom environment. The First-Year Reading, Thinking, and Writing Initiative expands on this literature by using peer mentors with a commitment that extends beyond the classroom borders. These peer mentors, along with the faculty, play a vital role in building, shaping, and modeling tools for college literacy development and civic engagement. Peer mentors in the Initiative are volunteers from the previous year's cohort.
