Peer Educator Support

Rasmussen students can connect with a Peer Educator via the Tutoring Service.

A Peer Mentor:

Shares the expectations that lay ahead
Provides tips that save you time and effort
Speaks directly to your concerns of the unknown
Recommends regular touch points to gauge progress and stay on track
