Engineering PEERS,
in a complementary role with other members of the Villanova
community, and without judgment or imposition of their own personal
beliefs, will provide knowledgeable and constructive information,
advice, support, and feedback to their peers, in order to enhance
the overall quality of the student's experiences here at Villanova
University.
The Engineering PEERS
program (Peers Enhancing Educational
Resources for Students), is a
student-to-student mentoring program, designed to enhance the
Engineering students' overall experiences at Villanova. PEERS are
assigned to specific students; however, they are available to all
undergraduate Engineering students through weekly office hours, by
phone, email, instant messaging, classroom and (freshmen) dorm
visits, and special programming events.
In addition to their
knowledge of and experience within the College of Engineering, PEERS
are trained in all aspects of the Villanova Community and can
provide information or referrals to students as needed. While they
may discuss academic procedures (How? Where? What? When? Who?),
PEERS do not provide academic advice. Academic
advice is provided only by assigned faculty advisors or College
administrators.
