The Department of Economics is proud to announce an outstanding cohort of undergraduate economics Peer Mentors for 2024-2025: Elisabetta Formenton, Logan George, Cameron Greene, Kylie Kim, and Nastaran Moghimi.
This is the department’s seventh year participating in the Peer Mentor program, made up of juniors and seniors selected and trained to convey advice and information to their peers, as a way of increasing and diversifying mentoring resources within the major. Peer Mentors answer questions about what it’s like to major in Economics, what classes you may wish to take in the major, how you find a research opportunity, and so on.
