Freshmen relate well to outstanding students who have overcome barriers and achieved success academically. FYE Peer Leaders are a resource and a role model other than the instructor. Sometimes, students feel more comfortable with peers and use them as a bridge for asking questions and expressing needs. Leaders encourage class members to excel in the classroom and be active on campus and in the community. Moreover, those students who participate as peer leaders reinforce their writing and communication skills and have a valuable experience to add to their resumes.
