Abstract:
|
Peer Advisors play a vital role in the merging of incoming students and institutional resources. This presentation explores a dual-phase approach to molding student workers from summer orientation roles and transitioning them into peer mentorship roles throughout the academic year. Attendees will gain actionable insights into training models, role development, and the measurable impact on retention and engagement. Challenges and successes will be shared, along with strategies to maximize the effectiveness of peer advisors as a cornerstone of student support and advising initiatives. |
