The Importance Of Peer Advising
I have a unique perspective that I could bring to Peer Advising because I am an out of state student so I recognize the time and money commitment that coming to the University of Kansas can be. I have had to work multiple jobs at a time to ensure that I get an education. I come from a very diverse community back home in Houston. I am a Multiracial Latina.
I have had the privilege of interacting with different people from all walks of life. This has prepared me with the social skills to interact and relate to anyone I interact with.

    At a young age, I waited on the benches for my mother to retrieve me from carpool. I observed my peers laughing together as they walked towards the gym for after-school sports. My mother, who soon arrived to find her kindergarten son sitting in solitude, scheduled numerous parent-teacher conferences. She would share her concerns while my teachers assured her that my "individuality" was what attracted friends to me. I had been a leader rather than a follower regardless of the opinion of others, and, to this day, that has remained static. I have evolved from that careless kindergarten leader, to an aspiring college graduate.…

    The role of faculty in academic advising dates back to 1841, when Kenyon College stipulated that each student must select a faculty member to be an advisor (Harrison, 2009) Every undergraduate student is assigned to a College advisor that they will have for the next four years while on campus. Advisors introduce and assist students with their transitions to the academic world by helping them see value in the learning process, gain perspective on the college experience, become more responsible and accountable, set priorities and evaluate their progress, and uphold honesty, encourage self-reliance, develop lifelong learning and self-management skills (Hughey, 2011). Advisors should be able to successfully communicate with students and be able to develop a positive relationship with them. They should engage students as much as possible to keep them involved and motivated in pursing their education. During your first year your Advisor should help you select your core courses and discuss your major with you. If you have already selected your major they then can help you fit in those courses you need with your core ones. Advisors should help you schedule your classes in a way that will benefit you and not overload you. Besides just your classes your advisor should also be able to help you with internships, clubs, fraternities and sororities, etc. Academic advising requires engaging students to think critically about their academic choices and make effective plans for their education (Schulenberg & Lindhorst, 2008). Advisors…

    Social skills are skills that you can’t learn from a text book. Being around people and volunteering is a great way to gain these skills that will last you a life time. A social skill I learned while volunteering was how to speak to people. To some people speaking comes with ease, but for me it did not. Whenever I got around people I didn’t know, I would get nervous. After working for…
