Peer advising
Student advisers lending a hand in the counseling cent
By ROBERT W. RIZZO
Reporter
Students in the College of Busi
ness Administration are helping
their peers by participating in new
programs that they nope will im
prove study skills and get students
off probation.
Through the Peer Advisor Pro
gram, a program designed to let stu
dents counsel students, juniors and
seniors in the College of Business
Administration are lending a hand
in the counseling center.
Jackie Zander, coordinator of the
peer adviser program, says “Budget
restrictions have made the hiring of
more administrative advisers cost
preventive, so we decided to recruit
students to help with the growing
work load.”
About 150 peer advisers partici
pate in three programs: a prospec
tive students program, a registration
assistance program and a study skills
workshop. All three were initiated in
Fall 1985, but some will be tried for
the first time this semester.
The prospective students pro
gram allows students who are con
sidering entering the business col
lege a chance to speak with students
already enrolled.
Ralph Beasley, a peer adviser, says
he thinks students get intimidated.
“I’ve gotten a lot out of this school,
and if possible. I’d like to give some
thing back,” he says.
In addition to helping prospective
students, the peer advisers in the
registration assistance program do
some counseling under Zander’s su
pervision.
Pat Hoffman, a peer adviser, says
he really doesn’t do much advising.

Hoffman says the size of the busi
ness department often leaves stu
dents feeling like just another num
ber.
And students who think they are
just another number on probation
can get help through the study skills
program.
Peer advisers will be helping stu
dents on scholastic probation make
To create a better understanding
between the peer advisers and stu
dents on probation, it’s required that
all the aavisers must have been on
probation themselves. Zander says.
“I feel that sometimes the best
knowledge of a course is acquired
through the mistakes a person has
made in the past,” Zander says.
‘The students usually know what
their grades by giving them study
hints. The program will get its First
try at mid-term.
She also said students often feel
it’s easier to relate to a person that
didn’t make an A in the class.

ers suggest ways to study for courses

Students are Finding hints on how
to survive business classes through a
series oF workshops presented by the
Peer Advisory Committee, a group
of student counselors in the College
of Business Administration.
The series, appropriately named
“How To Survive In . . . is de
signed to help students overcome
fears of mathematics, accounting,
economics, finance, management
and business analysis classes.
Jackie Zander, a counselor in the
business college and coordinator of
the workshops, says the series will
emphasize personal contact because
students feel more comfortable talk
ing with other students than with
professors.
This is the first time that
workshops of this type have ever
been implemented through the col
lege of business, Zander says.
The series was planned to coin
cide with the first round of tests in
the spring semester, she says.
At the Business Analysis and Re
search 217, Business Data Proc
essing Concepts workshop Thursday
night, students expressed their anx
ieties about the computer class, and
Amy Dawson, Leslie Haskins, and
Jeff Zaruba, survivors of Bana 217,
were there answering questions.
Dawson said the first round of
tests can be intimidating, and stu
dents “don’t have any idea what’s
going on right now.”
She said most of the questions she
heard before the meeting were
about tests and general information.
She feels the workshops will give stu
dents a better understanding of the
classes that they are in.
In the Marketing 321, Marketing
workshop, peer adviser Elizabeth
Thompson, a senior marketing ma
jor, said, “It helps if you read the
chapter before you go to class,” and
she urged students to take good
notes.
She also advised against waiting
until the last minute to study.
“Don’t ever cram," she said. “You
might as well go to bed ar:l
good night’s sleep."
Most students asked at»
tests and computer prograirj
in Bana 21V, and the t
brought old exams with themi
