Peer Educators (PEs) are upperclass students who have the desire to help others and believe they can make a difference in the lives of other students. A PE is assigned to a Learning Community (LC) and will provide academic guidance and support, create opportunities for bonding, co-facilitate the LA&S 101 course, and assist freshmen with their adjustment to campus life.

Residential Peer Educators (RPEs)
Students participating in a residential LC will live on the same floor with the other participants of their LC. Only a few residential learning communities will require PEs to live-in. These RPEs will live on the same residence hall floor with the LC members and create study groups, bonding activities and provide opportunities for out-of-class learning. If you are considering an assignment to a residential community, check with the LC staff to determine if that community requires the PE to live-in. RPEs should expect to work approximately 10-12 hours per week.
Although about half of the learning communities are residential, most PEs will not be required to live-in. The duties are the same as the RPEs, but the PEs will work approximately 3-12 hours per week.
Students are hired for either the fall or spring semester only, unless assigned to learning communities that run for the full academic year. Term of fall appointment begins the week prior to Hawk Week until Stop Day. Spring appointments begin the week prior to the first day of classes until Stop Day.
RPEs will receive *free room in the residence hall to which they are assigned. * All rooms are double occupancy. Traditional halls allow PEs the option to buy-out the other half of the room.
All other PEs will be paid hourly starting at $8.50.
