Disability Resources is hosting a Peer Mentor program this semester. The program offers students the chance to network in a group setting with other students and/or to connect individually with a program facilitator. This opportunity is free and is being spearheaded by Gaby Ficchi and MC Beck, graduate students in the Rehabilitation Counseling program. As UA students themselves, Gaby and MC identify with the student population with whom they work. If you are interested in participating, please contact MC at mcbeck@email.arizona.edu or Gaby at gficchi@email.arizona.edu. They can also be reached at 621-9559.
