Abstract: Peer mentoring can play an important role in supporting students in their academic journey. Struggling students can be supported and guided by a more abled/experienced peer. The purpose of this embedded mixed methods study was to understand the effectiveness of the implementation of a peer mentoring program in a business management program. Through focus groups and quantitative data gathered through pre- and posttests, students shared personal experiences as they participated in a 6-week program. Quantitative results suggest multiple positive outcomes in terms of motivated learning strategies from students that were in the peer mentoring program. Favorable qualitative findings support quantitative gains in that students' reported more academic confidence, time-management skills, communication skills, and other essential business skills. The article highlights the process of creating a peer-mentoring program, the modules used, feedback from students, and recommendations for implementation at other institutions.
