Join us on Saturday, May 11th for the annual San Diego Best Buddies Friendship Walk! Anyone in the CSUSM community is invited to join the CSUSM Best Buddies team and attend this wonderful event held each year in celebration of friendship and expanding inclusive opportunities for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Our team will be representing one of the dozens of Best Buddies chapters in the San Diego area, ranging from elementary school chapters through postsecondary chapters.

Aspiring Scholars Peer Mentorship Program
The CSUSM Aspiring Scholars Program is a non-degree, four-year university program for students with intellectual disabilities seeking an inclusive college experience. Students enrolled in this Inclusive Postsecondary Education (IPSE) program will learn and grow alongside the CSUSM community and will earn a higher education career studies and skill development certificate.
We are looking for dedicated students to serve as peer mentors for students enrolled in CSUSM's Aspiring Scholars Program.
How to become a peer mentor:
1. If you are enrolled in a course that requires service-learning, select CSUSM Scholars Peer Mentoring
2. If you do not need service-learning experience, you may become a mentor for CSUSM Scholars by completing the peer mentor application
