Peer Advisors
Peer Advisors are senior, junior, and sophomore engineering students who assist new students with the academic transition from high school to college. As part of their participation in the Engineering Seminar (ENGRG 1050), all first-year students will interact with their Peer Advisors.
Peer Advisor Learning Outcomes
By the end of their semester as a Peer Advisor for ENGRG 1050, students will be able to demonstrate the following:
- Collaboration: Demonstrate collaboration, critical reflection, judgment, and organizational skills by partnering with peers and faculty to co-facilitate the logistics of the 12-week curriculum successfully.
- Communication: Foster communication and leadership skills needed to effectively engage first-year students by sharing information that will enhance personal and academic success.
- Mentorship: Help mentor, build connections with, give advice, and provide peer insight to first-year students by utilizing personal lived experiences.
- Inclusiveness: Promote community and an inclusive environment with and among first-year students by listening, empathizing, and cultivating a sense of belonging to improve their transition to the College of Engineering and Cornell University.
