Peer Advisors

The 2025 peer advisors sitting on the steps to Eastman Quad with the tower or Rush Rhees in the background.

Peer advisors help students declare majors and make connections with faculty, review research opportunities, and explore study abroad and options for independent and interdisciplinary study.

For general questions about the peer advising program, or to be referred to a peer advisor, email peeradvising@rochester.edu. To keep up with what's new in the program, check us out on Instagram.

The peer advising team is managed by Director Angela Buchiere and Ashlee Dow.

During the fall and spring semesters, peer advisors are available for support Monday through Friday in Lattimore Hall at the Center for Advising Services (CAS) Counter. Or, contact them via the chat option at the bottom of the screen.
