Peer Advising

Navigating the CS major curriculum can be challenging, but have no fear! The peer advisors can give you insight into your schedule, study tips, and how to best make use of your time in the major.  They can answer questions about professors, majors, student organizations, and campus life in general. Along with academic advisors, they can assist you in tailoring your experience in the CS major.
