Join Our Peer Advising Team at the TRC!

To apply for one of our paid Transfer and Reentry Peer Advisor positions complete the online application.  Note that we typically hire new Peer Advisors in the winter quarter, so incoming peer staff can attend the spring training course.  However, students are welcome to submit an application throughout the year.

The TRC Peer Advisors strive to be a first point of contact for Transfer and Reentry students and to assist them in navigating the University and providing referrals when appropriate, planning and facilitating various events each quarter, and support in running the center on a day-to-day basis.
