Undergraduate Peer Advisor Program

The role of the International Undergraduate Peer Advisor program is to support international undergraduate students through peer-to-peer connections. Peer advisors are other undergraduate students who have first-hand knowledge of the Tufts campus and university environment. They are available for one-on-one meetings and they work to connect international undergraduates to campus resources and other academic and extracurricular opportunities. Peer advisors are an important resource who can provide additional insight into how undergraduate international students can enhance their overall experience at Tufts. Contact a peer advisor to talk about:
  • Where to go to get information about various issues and concerns such as academic, personal, or financial support
  • Identify ways to connect to campus extracurricular or other activities
  • Learn how to get practical advice on navigating the Tufts environment or pursuing different academic and professional opportunities
  • Get informal opinions and advice about how to make the most of your Tufts experience

Peer advisors do not provide advice on complex immigration, health, psychological or related private and confidential matters. However, they can provide directions to appropriate campus resources.
