Peer Success Coach
A Peer Success Coach (PSC) is a point-person who can offer guidance to students as they navigate life at Purdue.

PSCs meet weekly or biweekly with their coachees and hold them accountable for meeting their established goals.
PSC Selection occurs during Spring semesters for the upcoming academic year.

Student Office Ambassadors (SOA) help with the everyday management and function of the ASC. This is a customer service-driven role helping students, families, and campus partners support holistic academic growth across campus. They assist in maintaining the collaborative space, welcoming guests and visitors, working one on one with staff on office projects, executing vital organizational tasks like checking students in and responding to information requests. In addition, SOAs have the opportunity to inform the campus community about our services, conduct academic skill workshops, and facilitate accountability groups.
The application to become a SOA for the 2022-2023 school year is closed.

Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leader
Supplemental Instruction (SI) Leaders are student leaders who provide weekly, peer-led study sessions for traditionally challenging courses. The role of an SI Leader is to help students in their assigned course develop a better understanding of the course material through active, collaborative learning involving critical thinking, transferable study skills, and fun. Rather than teaching or directly answering questions, SI Leaders facilitate and guide students to finding answers for themselves. SI Leaders typically work with small to medium sized groups of students, with some courses occasionally having large groups before exams.
SI Leader selection occurs during the middle of fall and spring semesters for the upcoming semester.
