Peer Advisor: Study Abroad Hourly Help Assistant (Four Open Positions)
About The Position
Peer Advisors in the Kristen Collier Wright Office of Study Abroad and International Exchange are essential members of our student advising team. They serve as the first point of contact for students beginning their study abroad journey and play a key role in promoting study abroad across campus. Peer Advisors lead Study Abroad 101 sessions, conduct initial one-on-one advising sessions, and represent the office at outreach events. In addition to their advising responsibilities, Peer Advisors assist with the daily operations of the front office as needed by answering phones, responding to emails, and helping with administrative tasks.
