Vision Statement
The Peer-to-Peer Mentoring Program (P2P) will provide support, encouragement, and resources to first-year doctoral students in the Educational Policy, Planning & Leadership (EPPL) program in the School of Education at the College of William and Mary for our peers to achieve academic, social, and professional success.
Mission Statement
In the interest of the development and advancement of K-12 and Higher Education scholarship, we are a group of current doctoral students in the School of Education (SOE) at the College of William and Mary who will serve as peer mentors for first-year doctoral students (FYDS). This program is the first of its kind in the SOE focusing on FYDS. A student-led committee comprised of members representing all five program areas within EPPL will share the responsibility of connecting peer mentors with peer mentees.
