Hi! My name is Adra, and I am a recent graduate from UoM where I studied a degree in Psychology. As a student I feel that I really benefited from Peer Mentoring both academically and socially. Over the past few weeks, I have enjoyed meeting my schemes and I look forward to working with students and staff to develop the Peer Support schemes over the next year.

Hello, I'm Hannah and I'm from Leeds! I'm thrilled to become an intern within The University of Manchester’s Student Success and Development Team, helping coordinate and run 17 different Peer Mentoring and PASS schemes across campus. I really benefitted from the pastoral and academic support in my first year, so hope to continue that success. I’m also looking forward to partaking in the project Heart Heroes and helping commuter students settle into University.

Hello everyone! I’m Nicky, and I’m so excited to continue my journey in Peer Support! During my time at university, I loved getting involved as a project leader for Once a Month, taking on a couple of committee roles, and serving as both a Peer Mentor and Student Coordinator for Politics, Philosophy, and Economics. I’m eager to contribute further to the development of the Peer and PASS schemes. I'll also be working on other projects like Heart Heroes and the Peer Support website.
I look forward to meeting many of you, so please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
