Peer Mentoring Program – YTU Student Dean’s Office
YTU implements a comprehensive Peer Mentoring Program coordinated by the Student Dean’s Office to foster academic success, social inclusion, and student well-being. Through this initiative, senior students provide guidance and support to first-year peers, helping them adapt to university life and develop essential study and communication skills. The program promotes a sense of community, reduces adjustment-related stress, and ensures that all students—regardless of background—can thrive academically and socially.
