BA 100 Peer Mentors
What is BA 100?
Business Administration 100 is a one credit hour course designed to help first-year business students gain knowledge and experiences that will ease the transition to The University of Tennessee, to facilitate integration into the university and the College of Business Administration communities, to provide the opportunity to explore academic and career options, and to develop strategies for success in college and in life beyond college.
Role of a Peer Mentor
- Assist instructors in a section of Business Administration 100 for the fall term and serve as a role model, peer advisor, and contact person for BA 100 students.
- Work cooperatively with other peer mentors and your instructor.
- Demonstrate mature, responsible decision making.
- Serve as a resource on campus services and activities.
- Facilitate the integration of first-year students into the university and College of Business Administration communities.
Students who are selected as BA 100 Peer Mentors will have the opportunity to apply for an expanded leadership role - working as a Peer Mentor with the Venture Living Learning Community.
Benefits

Participants will also gain valuable leadership experience by working cooperatively with an instructor; by developing and enhancing communication skills; and by serving first-year students as they transition to the university.
