| A Mentoring Assistance Peer (also affectionately known as a "M.A.P.P.") is an upperclass student chosen for the program to guide freshmen through their first year of Hopkins. Mentors help freshmen learn the JHU campus and discover its many resources. Freshmen are encouraged to keep up with their studies and to complement their academic experience by getting involved in co-curricular activities. M.A.P.P. mentors also act as a liaison between the Office of Multicultural Affairs and other University departments. Your mentor is responsible in assisting your development throughout your freshman year. Mentors develop programs that help with Time Management, Study Habits, Community Service projects, and career goals. This mentor/mentee support approach equips freshmen with tools that will follow them throughout their career as a Hopkins undergraduate. Beyond that, a peer mentor is a friend who listens to problems in a non-judgmental way and provides invaluable support and advice. | | Multicultural freshmen participating in the M.A.P.P. Program represent a broad cross section of the student population at Hopkins. Through the program, they are able to meet other freshmen from a variety of backgrounds, an opportunity which greatly enhances their college experience. Hopkins students, representing a variety of majors and ranging in class standing from sophomores to seniors, serve as M.A.P.P. counselors. Each works with about five freshmen. In addition, M.A.P.P. counselors are involved in many other campus activities and hold major offices in campus organizations.
