Think College Program
Peer Mentors
Peer Mentors are an integral part of the WTC. Their contributions are beneficial to
both WTC students and Winthrop University. WTC Peer Mentors work under the guidance
of the WTC Professional Staff to provide support in the classroom, on-campus, in the
commmunity, and employment settings. They share their knowledge, life experiences,
and interpersonal skills to enhance WTC's students' experience at Winthrop.
