As a program dedicated to helping college students develop lifelong leadership skills, MCSP offers multiple positions for sophomores through seniors. Expand the following sections to learn about ways to lead our learning community!
The Peer Advisors and Peer Mentors are sophomores and juniors at U-M. These students help the RA’s build a strong sense of community and serve as resources and role models for first year students.
