STW: Peer Advisor

The Office of Student Development and Success within the Lee College of Engineering seeks applicants to work with the Office of Student Development and Success team to develop a new First-Year Peer Advisor Program.

The Peer Advisor program—part of the Office of Student Development and Success (OSDS) within the Lee College of Engineering (LCOE)—is a student leadership position where Peer Advisors are an extension of our first-year advising team.

Peer Advisors support first-year students with questions about class registration and help foster academic excellence among students by increasing their knowledge about the resources that may help them succeed. Peer Advisors offer a peer perspective and act as a friends, role model, mentor, guide, and support to new students.
