FAMs Like You

Our FAM Peer Mentors represent a wide range of students, including students who are part of the LGBTQ+ community, students who come from foster care, students who are neurodivergent, and students who are parents of young children. Each of these student populations enriches our Marshall family. If you would like to be matched with a FAM who might be better able to relate to you, please click here to make that request.
