The Peer Advising Program is a formal peer program in which a first year multicultural student pairs with an uperclass Creighton University student for one academic year. The purpose of the program is to assist students with concerns and problems they may encounter during their first year and help introduce them to Creighton. Advisors are students who care about incoming Creighton students and Creighton University. They volunteer their time to help new students experience success at Creighton.
Advisors serve as role models, friends, and resources.
Advisors must maintain a 2.5 Q.P.A. and have completed at least one full academic year at Creighton University. Race or ethnicity is not a factor in the role of Advisor. Advisees are first year multicultural students who are interested in their educational and personal growth. They welcome the opportunity to form a friendship with an upperclass student. The initial meting between all participants will take place at a Peer Advising Program Mixer.
