Leadership Team

The Peer Leader Program is led by a leadership team comprised of both UTEP staff and UTEP student employees. The Entering Student Experience Assistant Director for the Peer Leader Program works alongside Peer Leader Mentors to lead the full team of Peer Leader (PL) employees. All Peer Leader Mentors began as Peer Leaders in the UNIV 1301 classroom before taking on additional leadership duties to serve (1) as mentors to the PLs and (2) as direct support to the Assistant Director.

Jorge Cota is an undergraduate student in the Liberal Arts College at UTEP. He joined the Peer Leader Program as a Peer Leader in Fall 2021. His main goal as a Peer Leader Mentor is not only to create a wider reach for the program across campus but also to improve as an individual through the experiences and opportunities the program offers to him. Jorge is grateful for his time in the program, for it has helped him to grow not only on a professional level but also on a personal one. Outside of school and work, Jorge enjoys spending time with his friends and those close to him; he also enjoys everything movie and music related.
