Peer Leaders are an integral part of the First-Year Experience program. They help bridge the gap between first-year students and administration/faculty by providing useful and necessary information within realistic contexts.

Essentially, Peer Leaders are student resources. They fill the roles of mentor, friend, or informative source for incoming students. Because Peer Leaders are also K-College students, they have personally had many of the same questions, concerns, and problems in their process adjusting to life at K.

Peer leaders are assigned to each first-year student through the first-year seminar. They work full-time during orientation and on a part-time basis during the academic year.
