Great universities inspire the very best in us. They nurture new ideas, fresh perspectives, and creative problem-solving. They challenge students to discover their passions – and to turn those passions into thriving careers that improve our world. Columbus State University is exactly that kind of place. With exceptional facilities, ideal class sizes, and unique field experiences, our students have room to create.

Here, every faculty and staff member is part of the educational process, actively mentoring students and championing each new step in their journey.

The GOALS program is seeking peer mentors. The GOALS Program provides the opportunity for students with developmental disabilities to attend university classes and participate in university life. Working within our team atmosphere, peer mentors provide basic social and academic supports to such students on both main and Riverpark campuses. Such supports include walking to and from class, eating on campus, sitting in classes, providing basic tutoring, participating in campus events for students, engaging at the recreation center, and/or other basic campus experiences.

Come share your knowledge of being a college student, be a friend to other students, and develop your leadership skills in a meaningful way.
