Carolina Experience Peer Leaders, formerly Academic Engagement Peer Consultants (AEPCs ) assist with the SophoMORE Year Initiative, the Junior Year Experience, Transfer Student Success, and faculty-student interaction programs such as Mutual Expectations.
PC's meet 1-on-1 with students in Success Consultations to discuss academic strategies and co-create a plan to maximize the student's potential for success.
Peer Tutors facilitate drop-in tutoring, as well as 1-on-1 tutoring appointments with students who may be struggling with a specific course.
Peer Writing Tutors can help students at any step of the writing process via drop-in or 1-on-1 appointments. They are experienced with lab reports, research papers, rhetorical analysis, presentations, close reading assignments, creative writing, speeches, and public speaking.
SI Leaders are paid to sit in on classes that they have already taken and performed well in so that they can take notes and host weekly group study sessions for their peers in the class.
