The Peer Facilitation program fosters a sense of community among first-year students by connecting them with upper-class mentors who, not long ago, were new to Ramapo themselves. The role of Peer Facilitator encompasses multiple facets from providing academic guidance and active listening, to serving as a role modelt This course defines those roles and parameters, and then teaches the skills, content areas and competencies so that students serve as effective peer facilitators. The course covers human development theory and its ethical implications/limitations, particularly as it relates to college students, their individual and group learning and the campus environment. By taking this course in their first semester of peer facilitating, student peer facilitators will reflect on their personal values and actively engage in applying theory to practice.
