Applications for the 2024-25 academic year Peer Advising positions will open in January or February 2024. Check back here then!
Peer Advising is a paid position ($20/hr) and does not offer any academic course credit. Peer Advisors work in the Psychology Student Academic Affairs Office (1343 EH) and are supervised by the Psychology Undergraduate Program Manager. The Psych SAA office hires 3-5 Peer Advisors to work during the fall and winter semesters. Peer Advisors are given extensive training before they begin advising students, and can be re-hired to work for multiple semesters. Peer Advisors are typically junior and senior students, and must be declared as Psychology or BCN Majors.
