THE BATT DOES IT DAILY
Monday through Friday
BY LORI SHULER
Battalion Reporter
■ Freshmen at Texas A&M Univer
sity’s summer orientation will be
ole to ask students questions about
lie University, providing there are
^nough volunteers to answer them.
For the second summer. Student
Services will sponsor a peer adviser
program.
Kay Evans, assistant to Student
Jevelopment Coordinator Glenna
Pitt, is coordinating the program
lis year. Advisers are needed, she
ays.
Deadline to apply to be an adviser
is April 26.
“We are looking for individuals
vith enthusiasm about the Univer
sity and about themselves who are
villing to share that enthusiasm
vith new students to help them
overcome the transition from the
aigh school environment,” Evans
id.
Peer advisers must work on a vol-
[inteer basis. Evans said although
se advisers can’t be paid, they can
have “an opportunity to help incom
ing students in a kind of way we
vould have liked to have been
jielped.”
Evans said last year there were
fibout 30 peer advisers and this year
bey would like to train 40 to 50 stu-
dents for the 13 orientation sessions.
Each advisor will be required to at
tend a minimum of two of the two-
pour sessions. During each session
_pach adviser will meet with about 10
new students.
To qualify, a student must have
been a student at Texas A&M dur-
ng the 1978-79 school year, have a
2.25 overall GPR, be active in at
east one student organization and
Attend one of two training sessions.
■ The training sessions will be June
3 and July 12. Each will last six
^pours. These sessions will prepare
Idvisers to answer student ques
tions, review discussion topics and
give ideas on sharing the Aggie
spirit, Evans said.
Applications are available in the
Off-Campus Center, in the Puryear
Hall lounge.
Student Service staff members
will choose the advisers. Evans said
there is a possibility of having inter
views.
Evans said a student does not
have to be attending summer school
to be an adviser. She also said being
an adviser would not require a lot of
time. Besides the six-hour training
session, there are only two other
time requirements.
One is meeting with new students
for the two-hour sessions on
Mondays and Thursdays at 7:30
p.m. The other is checking in at the
Off-Campus Center once each
week.
Evans said peer advisers are a
source of information for new stu
dents and the sessions are designed
to give students an opportunity to
familiarize themselves with the
University in an informal way.
“These peer advisers will find
themselves in a position of leader
ship comparable to that of a resident
adviser in a dorm,” Evans said.
“Their job will be to give hope and
encouragement and express an at
titude of friendliness.”
