Peer Advising in History

Click here for a list of current peer advisors and their office hours.

Greetings Colleagues!

And welcome to the wonderful world of History Peer Advising. The Peer Advising program is a way for students to help with those tough academic questions, such as "Will I graduate?" and "How much more money will I have to spend to graduate?" Peer Advisors are trained to answer general questions regarding university requirements as well as questions about the history major and minor.

Peer Advisors have a chance to help their fellow students put together plans that can help them succeed. In the process, the advisors themselves gain valuable experience in organizational and people skills.

Becoming an advisor is as easy as walking into the History Department office (275 McKenzie Hall) and saying: "I want to be a History Peer Advisor!"

Besides helping your fellow man and woman, Peer Advising also looks good on resumes. Whether you are applying to Graduate School or Law School or entering the business world, Peer Advising certainly will be looked upon favorably.

The History Peer Advising Office has begun work on possible future lectures by former History students from a wide variety of fields, with the hopes that people who become history majors can look forward to a future of wide variety than just pursuing a teaching or law career.

For more information on becoming a History Peer Advisor, please inquire at the History Department main office in 275 McKenzie Hall or speak with Professor Robert Haskett, Undergraduate Director, in 355 McKenzie Hall.

Look forward to meeting you!
The UO History Peer Advisors
