Dylan Gillespie

Hello incoming students! I'm one of your Peer Mentors and a genie to answer all of your questions! I'm a senior in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences (BS) with a double minor in Special Education and Early Childhood Development. I'm excited to start my graduate program here at SFSU within the same program! I wish to help others understand the determination and drive it takes to become a part of the Gator family and the amazing opportunities we offer. Thanks to many of our advisors, professors, and admin relations, and all of the networking opportunities that came along with this campus to students, I have worked six occupations on campus, at one point all at the same time! You wish to become just as successful, and so did I, why not start reaching out, cause fear only hurts your future, not the current YOU!

Dhruvi Solanki

Hello everyone! I’m Dhruvi, a Biology student concentrating in Physiology with a minor in Criminal Justice. I became a peer mentor because I want to support students the way I once wished someone had supported me — by listening, guiding, and encouraging them through challenges. Along with mentoring, I work at Campus Rec and lead the Indian Student Association, which has been a great way to build community. In my free time, I enjoy baking, drawing, playing badminton, and exploring new foods.
