Peer Mentor Program
Become a Mentee
Mentees are students connected to the Disability Center who seek guidance in navigating Mizzou’s campus, resources and building a supportive network. Benefits of becoming a mentee:
- A direct connection to Mizzou resources
- Communication and self-advocacy skills
- A deep connection to Mizzou’s disabled community
Students who are not currently connected to the Disability Center can fill out the New Student Application to get started. If the student still has questions, they can check their email for information about events open to all students connected to the Disability Center that can help them learn more about the program.

Benefits of becoming a mentor:
- A leadership role in the community
- Communication skills through supporting mentees
- Practical experience to apply and develop professional skills
Students who are ready to become mentors should contact Kristin Mossman at kristinmossman@missouri.edu to get started. Please note, there will be a review process to ensure those interested are the right fit.
