Peer Advisors are trained through the Office of Academic Advising to help students:
- Explore majors, minors, and career options
- Reflect on decision-making style
- Understand the Liberal Arts Core and make appropriate course selections
- Understand how to use the registration system and tools within Student Center
- Understand academic deadlines and policies
- Connect to campus resources
Peer Advisors are available in the office of Academic Advising Monday - Friday, 9 AM - 4 PM, no appointment needed.
