Your Resource at the Ready
Peer advisors are undergraduates who assist the Advising Center in its mission of providing personalized advising and support to all Dietrich School students. When it comes to helping their fellow students make the most of their Pitt experience, peer advisors possess the knowledge and skills to have a big impact thanks to their first-hand knowledge of the University environment.
"Emily doesn’t just encourage me to use my time here to build myself as a student; she connects me to opportunities to build myself as a person. Knowing my intended major and career considerations, she told me about the peer advising program. We both thought it would be a great opportunity to get some experience under my belt. ”
-Annabelle Racey (psychology, sociology, administration of justice)
