What do peers do?

The Career Center Peer Advisors are here to help you out with your professional development. We are here to support, assist, and provide guidance for students in drop-in advising, workshops, and information sessions—all of which are designed to encourage your exploration of the career and academic opportunities available to you. If you have any questions, you can find the peers at Career Station every Wednesday, or at the Career Center during regular hours.


Career Station

Every Wednesday during the academic year from 11 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., the peers will have a table near the Bell Tower. Come visit if you have any questions about resumes, online resources, upcoming events, and what the Career Center can offer you—or just drop by to say hello. The Career Peers are here to help, and we hope to see you soon! 


Drop-in Advising

The Career Center Peer Advisors hold the 15-minute drop-in advising each week to assist students with career related questions.  Stop by and connect with a peer advisor who might have  a similar background, major or career aspiration as you.  For more information about each peer advisor and their paths, please see their specialties below!  Check out the drop-in schedule weekly here.


Resume & Cover Letter Writing Studio

Every Friday from 11am - 1pm (Week 1 - Wee 10), the Career Center Peer Advisors host the Resume & Cover Letter Writing Studio to support students in a judgment-free zone to work on students' resumes and cover letters.  They will be there to answer questions or help with formulating the resume.  Students can stop by anytime between 11am - 1pm.  No appointments needed. 

***Please note that this is NOT a resume review session for individual students.  For resume and cover letter reviews, please visit our Drop-in hours or make an appointment with your Career Specialist.
