YU Explore Peer Support Team

The YU Explore Peer Support Program for Undeclared Major (UNMA) students is open to all UNMA students, who are automatically enrolled and contacted by a Peer Support Leader through email. The UNMA student decides how often they would like to interact with their assigned Peer Support Leader based on interest and availability. Our Leaders can guide them toward academic and personal success, by sharing experiences, resources and advice.
