Sophomore-Year Experience

Peer Leaders:

Peer Leaders’ are paid through a departmental student assistantship budget and their duties during the Experiential Phase include:

• Attending classes with the instructor on a weekly basis to provide a “seasoned” student perspective to campus culture and lead community-building activities
• Providing an extra support structure beyond and apart from the instructor and fellow KSU 1101 students by being available outside the classroom and class time
• Meeting regularly with the KSU 1101 instructor to coordinate their involvement
• Meeting with the program director at the beginning, middle, and end of the semester

Students who participate in the Peer Leader program benefit in several ways:

• Leadership training: Students can continue to build on this training through the Center for Student Leadership’s “Leaders in Kennesaw” (LINK) program and earn a Leadership certificate.
• Faculty mentorship: Students are able to develop a close relationship with a faculty member and gain a perspective of a course from the “other side” (especially beneficial for students considering teaching as a profession). Faculty will also be trained to be mentors.
• Institutional accolade: Students are officially recognized for their service during KSU’s First-Year Student Convocation.
