The Peer Mentor Leadership Project (PMLP) empowers undergraduate students to explore and develop their leadership styles. Participants design and implement mentoring and leadership projects that align with their goals and values, while assessing the impact of their work. The program emphasizes introspection, reflection, and professional growth, helping students strengthen their resumes and leadership skills. PMLP participants have successfully led projects ranging from organizing graduate panels to building classroom mentoring practices, showcasing the program’s role in cultivating confident, effective student leaders.
