Meet the TRIO Peer Mentors
Peer mentors share how the TRIO program has impacted their time at Loyola.

Kourtni Harding
"Being a peer mentor allows me to create a safe and open space for students to express all the components related to their success here at Loyola. Within my time here I have been able to grow and really help students take deep thought and consideration about their future and how to make their current experiences in undergrad count. I really enjoy hearing the growth, seeing them excel in other areas on campus, and creating a community of support and companionship for them."

Jordynn Whitlow
"As a peer mentor, I can provide a reliable and welcoming environment for students to discuss all aspects of their success at Loyola. Through my experience, I have been able to assist students in reflecting on their future and improving their current college experiences. Witnessing their achievements across campus while also providing an encouraging community in their lives is truly a satisfying moment for not just me but all of TRIO."
