Meet Your Peer Leaders

Our Peer Leaders are here to help!

Peer Leaders complete multiple hours of mentor and leadership training. These students will each be in contact with an assigned group of incoming freshmen throughout the summer and into fall semester to provide resources and to help make your BGSU experience even better. Peer leaders can assist with answering questions, mentoring, providing their personal experiences at BGSU and helping with the transition to college life.

If you forget who your Peer Leader is ask your BA 1500 professor. Your Peer Leader will be listed in people within your BA1500 Canvas course.
 

A group of 17 business students were selected as 2024 Peer Leaders for the Schmidthorst College of Business.
