  • The Peer Advisor Academy

    Launched in January 2015, the Peer Advisor Academy recruits, hires, and trains LaGuardia Community College students for placement in department-based advising roles throughout the college. At LaGuardia, Advising Teams composed of faculty and staff work together with each academic major. The Peer Advisors on each team use their own college experience and knowledge to provide support for moderate-needs students. They are responsible for outreach to students in their caseload and support through the process of understanding course selection, degree mapping, and a range of college services.  Peer Advisors complete mandatory training and professional development workshops where they explore the College’s advisement tools, such as Degree Works, the Student Success Plan, and ePortfolio. Sessions also include effective communication strategies, professionalism, resume writing, interview skills, and interactions with faculty and staff around advising strategies.

    Peer Advisors are equipped to:

    • Work with students to understand their program curricula.
    • Share knowledge and resources that will assist students in navigating the college environment.
    • Assist advisement team faculty and staff with events, communication, and other important work connected with team activity.
