    An elevator pitch is a brief summary of a product, idea, service, or person that can be delivered in the time span of an elevator ride (around 100-150 words). The purpose is to concisely communicate the key points to capture someone's interest. The document provides an example elevator pitch from a peer mentor introducing themselves, their academic background, involvement with the honors program, and a student organization. It encourages the reader to draft their own elevator pitch introducing themselves and what they have gained from honors programs or activities.
