Commuter Assistant Mentoring Program

This is a new program for commuting students.

Experienced commuters who are interested in working with freshmen, transfer, and other new commuter students will serve as mentors to new commuter students, and will help new commuters at Walsh learn how to make the most of their commute time and their time at Walsh.

Volunteer commuter assistant mentors will provide new commuters with advice, support, and camaraderie during the new commuters’ first year. They will be a source of information about adjusting to college life as a commuter, including issues such as parking, where to eat, how and where to meet other students, and how to get involved in on-campus activities. The Commuter Assistant Volunteer Program also provides a context for meeting people, making friends, and developing an on-campus support system.

If you are interested in volunteering as a commuter assistant or are interested in having a commuter assistant mentor, or if you have questions about the program, contact Susan Job, Coordinator of Commuter Student Services, 330-490-7173 or sjob@walsh.edu.
