After a selection process which involves an application and group interview, each leader is required to take a one-credit-hour leadership course. The Peer Leaders assist the Poole College of Management and the first-yea

• maintaining a Peer Leader Office where students can come to ask questions, get assistance, and get advice
• assisting at New Student Orientations by helping with advising and class registration
• coordinating the Freshman Welcome Party in August as part of the Wolfpack Welcome Week
• participating in M100 and inform students about relevant campus programs and resources

The Peer Leaders work closely with the Deans, academic advisors, faculty and staff to help ease the transition from high school to a college environment for all of the college's first-year students. Each leader is encouraged to come up with ideas and programs that will improve the Poole College of Management and the rich tradition that the young college holds. Many of these ideas have been put into action, ranging from improved social events to new classes and building improvements. Recruitment for new Peer Leaders takes place in the spring semester each year. The application, along with other important information, will be posted on this website during recruiting.
