Student Workers


Peer Advisors

Peer Advisors serve in the Student Success and Academic Advising Center front office as paraprofessionals. They assist students with issues related to course selection, major selection, and adjusting to university life in general. Peer Advisors help to acquaint students with Missouri Western policies, procedures, requirements, and registration information. They also participate in registration activities including “Big R”, Walk-In, and late registration. Likewise, Peer Advisors assist in referring students to resources across campus that can help them to enhance their educational experience.
