Peer Advising Associates
A Peer Advising Associate (PAA) is assigned to each incoming student in late spring. PAAs help new students keep up with the summer checklist, understand the registration process, consider a variety of registration concerns, and learn how to choose courses. Be sure to respond when your PAA contacts you in May!
PAAs for 2009 are shown below, along with a link to the blog they run specifically for new spiders. The blog also features welcome videos for new students. Although each new student is assigned a specific PAA, feel free to read about and ask specific questions to any member of the PAA team. Please contact Ms. Sue Pytlik for questions about your assigned PAA.
