Infos

Using students as peer leaders, mentors, supporters, and sources of information for other students, especially first-year students, is an established practice among higher-education institutions. These student leaders are especially influential at creating a social community for first-year students. However, many student leaders in these important roles are not provided with the necessary training to develop, lead, and maintain a connected and cohesive peer group. This book provides readers with a guide for selecting, training, and supervising students as leaders of a first-year student peer group, the Transition to University program. The book also includes theories and techniques specific to group dynamics and leadership skills as well as a format for a supervision course for students serving as peer leaders.
