L & S Honors SOAR Peer Advisor Position Open

The L&S Honors Program is looking for Honors Peer Advisors for SOAR 2015!  

We are seeking student Peer Advisors to join our team! Honors Peer Advisors work in a dynamic team setting with a professional academic advisor to provide one-on-one and small group advising related to academic and co-curricular life at UW-Madison. 

Peer advisors work alongside other professional advising staff to help students better understand the Honors Program, explore a range of academic options, select, and enroll in courses. During the SOAR program, peer advisors present information and assist first-year students individually and in small groups. Peer advisors explain how to use enrollment tools, provide valuable campus information, and model successful student behavior. Peer advisors also perform a variety of other daily tasks as assigned. Peer advisors will be selected based on an ability to work collaboratively, excellent communication skills, commitment to help a unique body of students, and a willingness to learn. We seek peer advisors who represent all aspects of identity including but not limited to: age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, ability, city/state/country of origin, and major. ALL are encouraged to apply.

Applicants must be available for all listed summer training and SOAR dates. During the 2015-2016 academic year, Honors Student Advisors who were successful Peer Advisors and who enjoyed SOAR may have the opportunity to work approximately 5-10 hours a week in the L&S Honors Program Office on Observatory Drive.

 For more information regarding time commitments, compensation and application procedures please visit the Honors Website.
