Peer Leader Programming Events - Spring 2024
During the Fall of 2022, many Peer Leaders did not receive a group of students in the M100 course to help in the classroom. Although this was a change from prior years, The Peer Leader Organization adapted accordingly and planned some exciting events on The Poole College of Management's behalf.
The members of our organization who were assigned to "programming" spent their semester coordinating and executing social and educational events sponsored by The Peer Leader Organization. These students, allocated into groups for each month of the semester, utilized creative, organizational, and innovative skills to curate and deliver these events on campus to encourage the engagement and collaboration of First Year and transfer students in the Poole College of Management. Below are some of the Programming events that the Peer Leaders planned and executed during Fall 2022.
​
Although there is no longer a dedicated group of Peer Leaders participating in Programming for the 2023-2024 academic year, stay tuned to see what social events the Poole College of Management will sponsor with Peer Leaders.

Inside Port City Java in Nelson Hall, Peer Leader(s) represented each concentration, answered questions about its required classes, and provided guidance to those beginning to plan out their business degree path. In total,18 students total filled out our attendance form, but many more showed up to eat and learn from their Peers!
Programming Event #5
January through April 2024 -
First Year Student Review Sessions for MIE 201 and ACC 210
One of the Peer Leaders' primary goals is to provide academic support and guidance to first-year and transfer students within The Poole College of Management. Having strong relationships with Professors Missy Makanui who currently teaches MIE 201 and Bruce Branson, the instructor for ACC 210, the Peer Leaders hosted monthly review sessions for first-year and transfer students to study for each of their exams in these courses.
Here, students participated in Jeopardy Games, witnessed problems solved in live time by their TAs, and practiced in groups for their exams. They also solved real problems provided to the Peer Leaders by their professors, directly from previous tests. Overall, these review sessions reached over 650 students from October to December 2022 in Nelson 3400.
