Peer Educators

Peer Educators are a select group of students who excel academically and stand out as leaders on campus. They foster success in and out of the classroom by providing support, motivation, and accountability to fellow students through peer coaching in a 1-on-1 or group setting. Their approach is customized to meet students where they are and help guide them to where they want to go, academically and personally. They offer a variety of academic resources and personal development services such as:

• supplemental instruction (SI)
• tutoring
• workshops
• one-on-one meetings
• self-assessments 
• study strategies
• test anxiety
• time management
• major and career exploration
• campus involvement
• decision making skills
• stress management
• the overall college transition and much more

Additionally, many of our Peer Educators are trained and certified through the BACCHUS Network.
