Hi, due to personal circumstances I’ll be about an hour late to in-person mentoring hours today (3/7/22). I apologize for any inconvenience.

Hello everyone! My name’s Cassidy Ochowski, and I’m the PWP peer mentor for the Spring semester of 2022. However, this is the final semester I’ll be serving in this position—I’ll be graduating this May! That being said, I’ll still stand ready to help you with your PWP coursework and electives right up until your finals.

There won’t be too many changes from last semester to this one; while my hours are different, there’s still a mix of in-person Laurentide hours and remote online hours. And just like last semester, you’ll be able to meet with me online via either Webex Meetings or Discord.

If this is your first time visiting the PWP peer mentor website, make sure to read the front page. It’s just been updated for the Spring semester, and it contains all the information you’ll need to get started: hours, locations, instructions for both online platforms, and what to expect if hours ever need to be moved or cancelled.

Lastly, if none of the times for this semester fit your schedule, don’t give up! If you reach out to me, I’ll do everything I can to figure out an alternate meeting time. I’m used to working off hours, and I can usually do Fridays or weekends, too—so don’t forget that this by-appointment option exists!

Well, that’s it. This’ll probably be my last (permanent) blog post, so let me just say it’s been a pleasure to serve as the PWP peer mentor these past few years. I’m sure my replacement will do a superb job, and I wish all of you the best of luck with whatever endeavors you’ll be pursuing going forward.
