• Center for Academic Success

As part of Seton Hall’s commitment to student success, all incoming first-year students are matched with a Peer Advisor (PA). Peer Advisors are trained undergraduate leaders who provide mentorship, guidance and campus resources to help new students navigate their academic and social transition to college life.

Throughout the academic year, Peer Advisors offer support through personalized outreach, ongoing communication, and campus engagement. They serve as approachable, informed and reliable points of contact for first-year students seeking to connect with the University community.

Peer Advisors assist first-year students by:

• Offering guidance on academic and co-curricular resources
• Encouraging involvement in campus events and initiatives
• Supporting goal-setting, time management and problem-solving
• Creating a welcoming environment that fosters community and belonging

With over 60 Peer Advisors representing a variety of majors, home states, and cultural backgrounds, the program is designed to ensure every new student feels supported during this important transition.

Each spring, the Center for Academic Success interviews for the upcoming cohort of Peer Advisors. Ideal candidates are responsible, reflective and passionate about supporting the Seton Hall community. Peer Advisors take pride in representing the University, fostering a culture of care and helping fellow Pirates start their journey with confidence and connection.
