What is the Role of a Peer Advisor?

Peer Advisors serve as paraprofessionals in the College of Health and Human Services Advising Center. Trained Peer Advisors will work with undergraduate Pre-Nursing, Pre-Exercise Science, Pre-Public Health, Social Work Lower Division, and Health Systems Management students, primarily freshmen and sophomores, and help them with academic concerns and on-campus resource referrals. Peer Advisors will work with students through various interactions including one-on-one meetings, group advising, and e-mail correspondence.
