Please nominate students to become peer leaders in the Ithaca Seminar Program, in which trained peer educators facilitate the transition to college for first-year students while gaining professional experience and transferrable skills.
We welcome students in every major, and seek to develop a team with a broad spectrum of identities, abilities and backgrounds.
A Peer Leader serves as a welcoming, more experienced resource to incoming students; offers new students a relatable perspective and serves as an exemplar of leadership on and off campus.
What does a Peer Leader Do?
- Complete a 0-1 credit experiential learning course on facilitating student success
- Facilitate discussions and/or presentations regarding transition to college life and skills
- Use a variety of communications to engage first-year students, in and out of class
- Connect students to resources, each other, and the instructor
- Encourage use of campus resources
- Promote and demonstrate respect for all students, inclusive of race, age, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, ability, etc.
