  • Identify key university resources that will assist them in their retention and graduation
  • Effectively practice developmental skills such as time management, study skills and career planning
  • Create relationships with a network of peers, faculty and staff on campus

A Student's Perspective

"PASS (formerly MSMP) gave me an opportunity to find a family at Wichita State. I was matched with a peer mentor who helped me transition into college life, find resources on campus and get involved."
