I know when I first started, it was helpful to have people who were willing to be of help. So, I think extending the helping hand to new students will give them a sense of support that it is available to them if they should need it. My favorite part of being a Peer Advisor is finding helpful information and then passing that on to students. Sometimes you can be so focused on classes that you don\u2019t have time to find all the resources that may be of help to you, and especially if you are just starting out and you don\u2019t know where to look.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From Tatiane Simons, Military and Veteran Programs Transition Manager:\u00a0\u201cGregory goes above and beyond to connect with his PAVE veteran students, sending frequent emails and text messages.
