Sweetland Writing Center Peer Tutors

Sweetland Writing Center has trained and supervised a select group of upper-level undergraduates to serve as writing tutors for their peers. Because students often feel more comfortable talking about their writing with peers, many prefer visiting tutors rather than faculty. Peer tutors come from all disciplines and are trained to help fellow undergraduates with all parts of the writing process.

UROP Peer Advisors

UROP Peer Advisors provide extensive, personal support to UROP students throughout the academic year. Peer advising encourages UROP students to identify their own research and academic goals and then helps students with strategies and activities to meet these goals. This mentorship enhances the UROP research experience and leads to greater student success and satisfaction at UM.
