The Political Science Peer Advising (PSPA) Program is currently accepting applications for the E-board and Peer Advisors for 2021-22. Peer advisors are current undergraduate political science students from a diverse range of disciples (International Relations, American Politics, Race, Gender, and Ethnic Politics, etc.) We desire candidates who have had experience in related research, internship and/or scholarship. We especially encourage students who identify as underrepresented students such as first generation, non-Native English speakers, LGBTQ+ and minority students to apply for the E-board and advising chairs.
Peer advisors will provide one-on-one mentoring and advising to peers, using their own experience in political science studies to build meaningful connections amongst each other. Primarily, the advisors will be responsible for providing insight about the structure and themes of the courses and extracurricular activities they have undertaken thus far in their disciplines. There will also serve as liaisons between the faculty advisors and political science students to assist in identifying and utilizing appropriate resources present at Uconn.
Apply through the provided link: https://forms.gle/2heDY9Dr9yPepzPg8. The deadline to apply is May 13th, 2021.
Additional details on the position and other questions can be directed to our team:(pspeeradvising@uconn.edu).
We look forward to embarking on this initiative with you in 2021-2022!
