LEBANON VALLEY

Jenna Lysakowski of Orefield, was one of 65 students who were selected as a peer mentor to guide new and transfer students through their first few months in 2018 at Lebanon Valley College, Annville.

Lysakowski, a graduate of Parkland High School, is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science.

Starting with orientation weekend in August 2018, peer mentors were responsible for assisting new students in succeeding personally, socially, and academically through connections to the College and their peers.

New and transfer students were assigned to a smaller group of other students who likely share the same major.

Every group is led by a peer mentor, an upper-class student, who has displayed leadership ability and a willingness to assist new students during their first year of college.

Peer mentors serve as positive role models and acquaint all new students with LVC’s structure, services and culture.
