Peer Mentor Team
SSS Peer Mentors assist peers in adjusting socially and academically to the University. They attend SSS events and serve as teaching assistants in the Right Start to College courses. Peer Mentors share their experiences in areas ranging from the best places to eat to tips on how to study for exams and how to network with professors.
Scholar-Tutor Team
TRIO Student Support Services (SSS) offers free individual and drop-in tutoring services exclusively to SSS participants. Individuals can request to be matched with a SSS Scholar-Tutor for 1-hour weekly tutoring sessions. A variety of courses are offered for individual tutoring each semester. Program participants may also utilize the drop-in tutoring hours available as well. The times currently offered for SSS Drop-in Tutoring are weekdays from 2:00 – 5:00 PM in the TRIO SSS Office Suite.
Ambassador Team
SSS Ambassadors are cohort leaders for different schools and fields of study at Pitt. We currently have Ambassadors for the College of Business Administration, the School of Nursing, the School of Computing and Information, Swanson School of Engineering, and students who are on a Pre-Health Track. Several times a semester, these Ambassadors will provide a space for an open dialogue amongst SSS students within a particular field of study. These meetings create an opportunity for SSS students to connect and share their experiences within their respective programs at Pitt.
