Student Advising Mentors (SAMs) serve as peer mentors for all undergraduatestudents during all stages of their journey at Berklee. They provide holistic guidance and support with an academic focus. The SAM role is a student-centered position where SAMs provide exceptional, accurate, and timely information to their peers on a variety of topics, which include: major declaration, how to register for classes using Myberklee and SelfService, time management, tips and tricks for class selection, and general peer mentoring in a more formalized setting. SAMs are not tutors or academic advisors, but they help guide students to campus resources. They are also ambassadors for Student Success Advising. They participate in the Center’s large-scale events, are featured on our social media account, and even design and host events of their own. From the stage to the dance floor to the recording studio, SAMs ensure their peers feel supported as they navigate their time at Berklee.
