Concordia College

For Students

Our peer mentors are upperclass-students who are committed to helping you achieve your academic and personal goals. We encourage students to drop-in or contact us at the Student Success office in the lower level of Fjelstad. We'll help with any college-related issue or concern. Talking to a peer mentor who has had similar experiences can be very helpful. Peer mentors are here to help you navigate the college system. Stop in our new office and meet our staff and peer mentors today!
