Additional Peer Leader Opportunities
UCI has a longstanding tradition of peer-to-peer programs and resources! There are peer leaders, peer educators, peer mentors, peer tutors, and peer advisors in nearly every area of campus, including learning support and tutoring, study abroad, careers, the counseling center, student affairs, and of course in academic advising! Since it is not possible for all applicants to be hired as a Peer Academic Advisor, you may also wish to consider applying to one or more of the opportunities below.
