What are Peer Leaders?
Peer Leaders are role models on campus for all students. They are in the Seminar on Success classes to help new, incoming students, guiding them as they navigate their first days and weeks at Mayville State.
Peer Leaders are upper-class students who know what it’s like to be new and most completed the Seminar on Success (SOS) class as freshmen.
Academic success, involvement in campus organizations, and knowledge of the Mayville State campus are essential to becoming a Peer Leader. Peer Leaders assist first-year students in their adjustment to college life by being available to help with move-in weekend, being part of the SOS course, and by hosting events on campus.
How do I become a Peer Leader?
Students who are in sophomore standing or above and have a good understanding of campus and who are interested in becoming a peer leader. They have been recommended by faculty and staff and are then selected through an application and interview process.
The application is sent out to students who are recommended in the spring and then open to all students. There are a limited number of Peer Leader spots available each semester.
