Project SUCCESS

A Project SUCCESS Peer Mentor is a sophomore, junior, or senior who mentors students through their first academic year at CPP. During one-on-one and group meetings (Kin Group Meetings), Peer Mentors will provide direct campus knowledge from their own freshmen year experience.

Project Success Mentors play a critical role in the success of our students based on the understanding that peer mentorship is highly effective in increasing students’ sense of belonging and academic transition to the university.

Project SUCCESS students also have access to free tutoring in partnership with the Educational Opportunity Program's (EOP) Tutorial Services. This allows our students to gain a better understanding of their course material by connecting them with academic strategists. Students have the option to create one-time appointments as well as ongoing weekly appointments. 

Project SUCCESS students will have the opportunity to attend leadership development conferences and retreats throughout the academic year, providing a key networking opportunity.

All Project Success Students must take EWS 1401 Introduction to Ethnic Studies in Fall 26 counts for GE AREA 6.   Section 02 (Th 10am-11:15am) 3 Units. Section 03 (Th 1pm-2:15pm) - 3 Units.

Kin Group Leaders are professional staff and faculty mentors who work on campus in various departments. During one-on-one and group meetings (Kin Group Meetings), Kin Group Leaders will focus supporting our students on personal wellbeing, early intervention efforts, and campus resource connections.

Students are lead through engagement workshops that deal with leadership and career development throughout the academic year.
