Peer Advisers are well-trained and compassionate student leaders whose job is to help and support you!  They are available at the front desk Monday - Friday to assist students with essential advising questions. Staff advisers often rely on Peer Advisers for their first-hand knowledge about enrollment navigation, selecting classes, and their personal experience.  Peer Advisers are wonderful resources for graduation/GE checks, helping with enrollment, understanding the next steps with a form, or identifying resources on campus!

Peer Advisors also help students schedule appointments with advisers.
