Program Overview

Starting college can be an overwhelming experience. From learning simpler things like finding your way around, or where to go for help; to discovering ways to balance classwork, home, job and figuring out which student organizations or experiences to be a part of; or, even choosing a major – it’s a big adjustment. It is a lot to learn, plan and keep track of.

To alleviate much of the confusion when transitioning to college, the IMPACT Peer Mentoring Program at BMCC helps new students adjust to the college environment, make connections on campus and feel empowered to chart their own course to success. The program matches successful continuing students with new students, connecting them as partners for a semester-long experience.
