Live near peers who are taking similar classes - peers play a critical role in your support network. Connect with a Peer Leader - an upper-year student who shares their experience with you and facilitates "academic check-ins". Establish networks with faculty, staff, alumni, and upper-year students from your program and faculty
Enhance in-class learning by participating in academic events facilitated by your Peer Leader for all first-year SDS students (i.e. study skills sessions, writing help sessions, academic program information sessions)
Participate in residence and campus-wide activities with students from a variety of academic portals
