Peer Leaders

Get to know this year's Peer Leader team!  Pitt-Greensburg Peer Leaders are upper-class students who help with summer orientation and Welcome Week activities, as well as with the Cornerstone/Seminar classes during the academic year.  Peer Leaders interact regularly with first-year and new transfer students and serve as role models to these students academically as well as behaviorally.

Our Peer Leaders are chosen for their genuine commitment, emotional maturity, enthusiasm, and strong interpersonal and leadership skills.
