Encouraging one another is what Hamilton students do every day. There’s an unspoken yet unwavering commitment among them to lift each other up.

In one of their many bonding events held throughout the year, the Multicultural Peer Mentoring Project (MP2) recently visited the North Star Orchard to enjoy the crisp fall season, delicious apples, and great company.

Taking advantage of the beautiful fall weather, the Multicultural Peer Mentoring Program (MP2) visited the North Star Orchard in Westmoreland, N.Y., on Oct. 21, exploring the area and picking some beautiful upstate apples and pumpkins.

The Multicultural Peer Mentoring Program provides new students with a fellow student mentor who can guide them, help them access people and resources as needed, and act as a role model and advocate.  Associate Dean of Students for Multicultural Affairs Allen Harrison explained that the program is open to any new student who wants a mentor but its purpose is to assist international, first-generation (first in the family to attend college) and historically underrepresented students with their transition to college life.
