Wesley Chiu, nominated by Jackson Taylor

Transitioning to and navigating through life at college can be challenging and filled with uncertainties. Having mentors made the world of a difference for me, and I wanted to give back by being a peer mentor myself. I've had the pleasure of being a CBC Peer Mentor for a few younger students these past couple of years, and being able to work with them to plan and reach their academic and professional goals has been extremely rewarding. Whether it's looking through different clubs on campus or having discussions on life after undergrad, I've enjoyed helping them find their own path. CBC has cultivated an inclusive and uplifting community, and I'm glad to have been able to contribute to it.

Eric Nathan Primack, nominated by Sean Chen

While at the University of Arizona I have had the opportunity to engage in one of my favorite activities, helping and teaching others. As a CBC peer mentor I immediately saw the impact I could have on new students to the University. Whether it be showing students around campus or tutoring I have always enjoyed sharing my knowledge in an attempt to improve someone's understanding. Without the networking being a CBC peer mentor provided, I doubt I would have been able to help as many students as I have. With that said I have valued my time as a peer mentor and I am grateful for the insight I have shed to new and current students.
