Welcome to the Peer Assistants for Learning Program
The Minerva Mentors are Peer Assistants for Learning (PALs). These peer mentors provide coaching that addresses general academic needs that are necessary for success at Union College. These include study skills, and dealing with time management and anxiety. The PALs will help students with their personal development and also with adjusting to college life.
If you are interested in learning more about the Minerva Mentors/PALs program, please look through the web site. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact either of us.
