Peer to peer advising

Objective

This project is designed to guide freshmen along their University immersion by forming groups of advanced students who will work together on a specific area of action.

Leaders

Milton Lopez and Sebastian Calvermater are going to be in charge of this project.

Key aspects

Students and faculty members who volunteer to take part in this project and become students’ advisors must have the ability to empathize with students and have fluent communication skills.

Each volunteer will join a sub-group based on their interests and experience, being passionate and knowledgeable about their area of action.

Each sub-group will have a leader that will respond to Milton and Sebastián. Leaders will give guidance to the members of each group and will be the connection between freshmen and advisors, assigning a mentor according to the student’s needs, holding a well-organized schedule.

Leaders

This ID will be more helpful to other parts if our university that share building with other schools or high schools. It will help another problem that we recently detected, people there finds it very hard to tell apart UTEC’s students from other institutions’ students.
