The Academic Peer Advisors (APA) program, in partnership with Academic Advising, provides the student body opportunities to connect with trained peer mentors in rich academic and extracurricular experiences. Students interact with APAs via office hours, email, and events hosted by the Academic Advising office. Students can discuss transitioning to university academic life, course selections, major decisions, extracurricular activities, graduate school plans, and other topics related to their academic journey.
