Peer Mentors
Peer Mentors are current Richmond students who work to support others settle into university life and achieve their potential in our liberal arts curriculum. If you need a hand with general university skills or are looking to build your support network, we encourage you to reach out to the team.
Pia Ruparel
Hello! My name is Pia. I am currently studying for a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and will be entering my third year in Fall 2026. I’m excited to be a peer mentor this year and look forward to meeting new students, sharing what I’ve learned, and being someone students can reach out to as they settle in.
