The CED Peer Advisers provide advice, counseling, and support for students in or interested in any of the majors/minors within the College of Environmental Design. The Peer Advisers seek to:

• bring to other students assessable, useful information about resources and opportunities regarding program requirements, career and graduate school information, and extracurricular information;
  
  
• help with necessary improvements within the Departments of Architecture, Landscape Architecture, and Urban Studies, as well as the College of Environmental Design as a whole; and
  
  
• assist with College of Environmental Design events such as resume reviews, portfolio reviews, career fairs, mock interviews, mixers, and workshops.

Advisers have the opportunity to develop skills in leadership, advising, teamwork, and public speaking.
