In 2018, training for college and departmental peer advisors shifted as a result of changes recommended by an audit performed by Audit and Management Advisory Services (AMAS). The training model realigned peer advisor training to meet the needs of the many units across campus that employ peer advisors and created a more accessible format for training.
In preparation for new peer advisors to participate in the centralized components of this training, supervisors must understand the role they play in a peer advisor's training and success. Each supervisor must read the expectations set forth about the supervisor role and must submit a request to access Canvas in order to add new peer advisors to the training. All new academic peer advisors (those employed via academic college or major department) who fully complete the Canvas modules and the relational training will be eligible to receive a $300 stipend.
