Engineering Peer Advisors
The Engineering Peer Advisors are knowledgeable, trained, and friendly engineering students who connect peers to the support they need. Engineering Peer Advisors are students assisting students with everything from deciding what major is right for them, customizing their college experience, discovering student societies and organizations, tips on talking with faculty, and much more!
Peer-to-Peer programs are shown to promote persistence, provide opportunities that encourage academic success, and foster a sense of belonging. Engineering Peer Advisors are here to help students thrive in the College of Engineering & Applied Science at ñ.
