Residence Hall Peer Advisor Position Description
Peer Advisors work collaboratively with CCAS professional advisors, as well as individually, to meet with incoming students about their academic options and to help them to select and enroll in courses. In addition to providing drop-in advising to students, Peer Advisors perform a variety of organizational tasks that support the functions of their CCAS Residence Hall office. Throughout the year, Peer Advisors will have the opportunity to assist with various events and student programming outside of their normal hours, such as the annual Majors Fair.
