Program Overview

Starting college can feel like a lot with new classes, new people, and trying to figure out where you fit in. That’s where the Panther Peer Mentor Program comes in. When you sign up, you’ll get matched with an upper-level student who knows the ropes and can help you make a smoother, smarter start at Florida Tech. They’ve taken the classes, met the professors, found the shortcuts, and learned what works (and what doesn’t). Think of them as your go-to person for figuring things out, from where to study to how to stay on track academically.

And it’s not just about school. PPMP students also get invited to two completely free events—Andretti’s and Shore Lanes bowling night. Your mentor will be there too, and everything’s covered: food, activities, and a solid excuse to get off campus and have a little fun. You’ll also get plugged into a campus-wide network of students, staff, and opportunities that can make a real difference.

If you’re serious about doing well at Florida Tech and want a little extra guidance (plus a few perks along the way), this is honestly the easiest way to get started. You can meet our 2025 Mentor team here!
