Peer Advisors

Peer advisors are current undergraduate engineering students who play a vital role in helping advise first and second year Engineering students. They are highly trained and very knowledgeable students with a variety of experiences in student groups, studying abroad, internships, and leadership opportunities.

Peer advisors assist fellow students with:

  • Navigating life in the College of Engineering
  • Navigating life at the university
  • Choosing a major/minor
  • Course selection and class registration
  • Student admin system functionalities
  • Sharing personal experiences and graduation plans
