Welcome J-Term Class of 2011!
Peer Advisors are first and second year MBA candidates who are dedicated to
making your transition to the Columbia Business School environment easy
and enjoyable!
24 members strong, the Peer Advisor team is selected through a
rigorous application and interview process and trained in leadership
development, with a strong focus on team building. The Peer
Advisor Team, part of the School’s Program on Social Intelligence, has
several purposes: to serve as a resource in your transition to
the program, to help you understand the School’s culture and community,
and to support you and your study group through the teamwork aspects of
the first-year core curriculum.
In addition to undergoing training, Peer Advisors volunteer part of
their summer and winter vacations to design, organize, and implement
the Orientation program. But, the Peer Advisors' role does not end when
Orientation draws to a close. Throughout the academic year, Peer
Advisors will work with you and your study group members throughout the
year to help you optimize your first year experience. We are
available to answer your questions and offer advice about academics,
school resources, the career search, elective courses, professors, and
New York City!
We are Peer Advisors because we are enjoying our Columbia experiences
immensely and want to make sure that you do as well. We represent all
different countries, nationalities, backgrounds, work experience, and
career goals! We are sure that one of us will be able to help with your
needs.
You can contact us before the semester begins with any questions. Once
the academic year begins, each cluster will be assigned a team of 8
Peer Advisors. Your Peer Advisor Team will experience
Orientation with you, and then see you throughout your first year.
