The office of First Year Programs is seeking talented UW students for the

departments are encouraged to apply. Successful candidates will have a genuine
interest in helping other students and their families through their transition
to the UW. Applicants should have strong organization skills, be willing to
share their UW experiences with new students, and a desire to get involved with
and give back to the University.

As a Peer Adviser, you will facilitate workshops on topics such as UW academics
and transitional needs, work closely with incoming students during their class

University topics. You will also develop transferable public speaking and

average of 35 hours per week for the Summer Advising and Orientation sessions
