Peer Advisors are well-trained and compassionate student leaders whose job is to help and support you! Staff advisors often rely on Peer Advisors for their first-hand knowledge about enrollment navigation, selecting classes, and their personal experience. Peer Advisors are wonderful resources for graduation/GE checks, helping with enrollment, understanding the next steps with a form, or identifying resources on campus!
