Peer Advising
We are current students, sophomores through seniors, who love talking about the Honors Program and EGL, sharing our experiences, and connecting with you! Peer Advising is a great place to de-stress with someone about classes or exams, make a new friend, learn about a cool opportunity, or get help with your resume or MPortfolio.
Drop-In Peer Advising
We are available to talk with you about your interests every weekday from 1 to 5pm while classes are in session! Prospective and current Honors students are welcome to join the Peer Advising Queue to talk with an Honors Peer Advisor now about their Honors experience — learn about Honors seminars, capstones, the EGL specialization, student leadership opportunities, Honors community events, and more! Want to know more about what Honors students are like? Read our profiles below and find out who’s working today!
