Peer Connections is now recruiting qualified students for the positions of peer tutor and peer mentor for the Fall 2013 semester. We know from experience that students who are individually encouraged by faculty and staff to apply for these positions are more likely to contact us than those who receive a flier or hear a class announcement.
Students who excel in academics and who you would like to see tutor or mentor your class may possess the qualities we are looking for here at Peer Connections. Therefore, we invite you to encourage any students who you believe would be effective in assisting others achieve academically and/or navigate through their university experience.
Minimum requirements for both positions include the following:
· Overall GPA of a 3.0 or a 3.0 GPA for the two semesters prior to tutoring or mentoring.
· Above average oral communication skills, critical thinking skills, interpersonal skills and organizational skills.
· Ability to work effectively with a very diverse population.
A job description and job application for both positions can be found at: http://peerconnections.
Informational sessions to learn more about the positions will take place on April 3rd from 4-5pm and on April 4th from 5-6pm. Both informational sessions will take place in MOSAIC. The first review of applications will take place on April 12th. If needed another review will take place during the month of June and until all positions are filled.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation in promoting this important effort. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
