1:1 Peer Academic Mentoring
Talk through your academic work and get advice from an empathetic and helpful peer. Fellow juniors, seniors, and grad students understand the pressures and confusions of academic undergraduate life and, especially as many of them identify as FGLI themselves. They are trained to listen to your concerns, find strengths to build on, and adapt common academic strategies to your particular learning style and goals.

Workshops
Our interactive workshops offer practical advice and strategies for common academic challenges, including:

- Working with faculty
- Note-taking and class engagement in seminars and lectures
- Managing a heavy reading load
- Tackling problems sets

The workshops are led by trained undergraduate and graduate peer mentors. We offer workshops at the Yale Center for Teaching and Learning and with partners across campus, including residential colleges, cultural houses, and student groups. Workshops are open to all Yale College students.
