From: Student Success Center

The Student Success Center has begun the annual recruitment of students for Tutor and Peer Academic Coach positions for the 2025-2026 academic year. We would appreciate your support in encouraging talented students to apply for these roles!

Tutors provide personalized support to their peers, helping them tackle challenging coursework and improve academic skills.

Why recommend these positions?

  • Flexible hours tailored around students' schedules

  • Opportunities to develop leadership, communication, and problem-solving skills

  • A meaningful way to contribute to peers’ academic success

  • Competitive pay and professional development through training

Student Eligibility:

  • GPA of 3.0 or higher

  • At least 4 hours per week commitment

  • Willingness to attend training and meetings

We ask for your help in spreading the word and recommending students who might be a great fit for these roles. The application deadline is Feb. 28.
