Questrom Peer Advisors (PAs) are upperclassman business students who work closely with the advising staff of the Undergraduate Academic & Career Development Center (UDC). Selected through a rigorous application and interview process, these student leaders support fellow undergraduate business students during their transition to the School. They provide peer mentorship on both academic and career matters; this specifically includes:
- Academic: Where to find course descriptions; what classes to think about before registration; where to go for academic support services; etc.
- Career: Information on different internships and companies and upcoming career events; preparation for career fairs; basics on professionalism in emails, networking events and dress; accountability for professional presence and engagement in career courses and career services.
- Student Life: Connection to relevant Questrom-affiliated clubs and organizations; where to go for mental health support; referral source for broad BU-wide resources such as HTC, chapel, ERC, Student Activities, ISSO, Student Employment office, etc.
