Prior literature emphasizes the importance of supporting diverse students in relationship-rich, learner-centered educational environments. This reflective manuscript describes the development and implementation of a strengths-based peer mentoring program in which FGCS supported each other’s success. First-year FGCS were matched with peer mentors, who met regularly and participated in monthly programming designed to foster reflection and development of strategies for success in college. Challenges and lessons learned are discussed in conjunction with feedback from program participants to inform future FCGS peer mentoring programs.KEYWORDS: First-generation college studentspeer mentoringrelationship-rich educationstrengths-based programming Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).}, number={2}, journal={Journal of First-generation Student Success}, publisher={Informa UK Limited}, author={Thurman, Sabrina L. and Tapia, Oscar R.
