The purpose of the RVU Peer Mentoring program is to assist the incoming class in having a successful transition to medical school by providing opportunities for networking and support resources during their first year. Peer Mentors are assigned to mentees in May and immediately begin to provide communication and support. The program also provides the selected peer mentors with the opportunity to grow as they practice their leadership, communication, and organizational skills.

Program goals include:

• Provide the incoming class with a support group of 2nd year peers who can share from their own experiences in making the transition to medical school.
• Assist the incoming class with acquiring personal, social, and academic skills which will help them to understand and adjust to the rigors of medical school
• Provide mentors with opportunities for their own personal and professional growth as they help to provide a caring and supportive network for incoming students.
• Provide another networking opportunity and de-stressor as mentors combine their groups for fun or informative activities.

RVU鈥檚 mission includes 鈥渋nspiring students to serve with compassion, integrity and excellence.鈥� This includes serving fellow classmates as well as the community. Being involved in the community provides students a sense of internal value and purpose. As students learn to engage in service to others, they develop emotional and spiritual wellness and stay connected with the reason why they wanted to be doctors in the first place.

There are many different volunteer opportunities within the RVU Community and the Community abroad. Task force and ad hoc committees as well as Associations, Clubs and Organizations (ACOs) provide a wide variety of volunteer leadership opportunities. Outside of the RVU Community, volunteer opportunities are limitless. As opportunities become available, they are posted on Microsoft 365 Colorado Campus TEAM for student reference.

Below are a few links of volunteer opportunities in the area:

Additionally, students volunteer at RVU-sponsored events throughout the year, such as:

• Stock Show health events
• UltraFest

Service is one of RVU’s core values and our students are deeply passionate about it. Students volunteer at many events throughout the community, including sporting events, health fairs, with the disadvantaged, and much more.

The RVU Utah Sustainability Committee began in 2019 when a couple of like-minded students decided it was time to start a conversation. With climate change becoming a truer reality each day, they were determined to inspire change and encourage those around them to join the movement.

Our mission is to educate, engage and collaborate with the RVU Utah community and the community at large in an initiative striving towards a sustainable future.
