»First Year Experience Peer Advisors

Our First Year Experience Peer Advisor Mentorship Programallows you to connect one-on-one with a current student based on your needs and interests. You will have monthly check-ins with your Peer Advisor where they will work with you on creating a successful Chapman experience and equip you with the skills to have the best first year. If you are interested, fill out this form today!

We are excited to continue working with you after Orientation and be there as a guide throughout your first year at Chapman University. 

The team is here to address your excitements and concerns, ranging from homesickness to academics, a current student will be there to assist you in any way. 

Meet the Team!
