What is the difference between an OHDCC Ambassador and a OHDCC Peer Mentor?
OHDCC Ambassadors are a committee that serves to ease the summer transition into TC before new students are paired with a peer mentor. Ambassadors have a smaller time commitment and can conduct their duties remotely a majority of the time on an ad hoc schedule as students connect them for help. Mentors dedicate an average of 2 hours per week for the academic year. In addition, mentors must meet with their specific mentee and attend a mentor orientation session during their year of service.
