Abstract

We are first-gen students, from an array of backgrounds, working in the Mason Undergraduate Peer Research Coach Program. This program creates an environment for college students to achieve academic success, personal growth, and excel in their chosen field of study. We co-teach alongside librarians and lead library outreach initiatives as student ambassadors.
