As students coming from marginalized communities, Peer Information Counselors can understand the unique barriers faced by students of different backgrounds. Our counselors are dedicated to supporting marginalized students in achieving their academic goals and building their confidence in accessing library resources. Everyone should get to know the library and how much we can do for you during as your college experience. Bear down!
The Peer Information Counselor program at the UA is designed to provide students at the cultural centers and across campus with the opportunity to receive peer mentoring and research help. Our goal is to help students overcome any feelings of discomfort or intimidation in using the library space or resources. We are a newly relaunched program working diligently to make the library an inviting space for all. Come find us in the library, at certain events, and working to provide study hours for anyone who needs it!
Hello! My name is Sarah, I study psychology and public health, and I am a second-year Peer Information Counselor. I love getting the chance to work with my peers and the cultural centers around campus. I believe that these centers are necessary to create an inclusive and welcoming school community and I am so excited to get to be a part of it. Please feel free to email me or come see me during my work hours for help with library resources including research database navigation, citation assistance, book/technology checkout, and more.
Hello! My name is Ky’Jah (kai-ja) and I am a junior Biochemistry major with a minor in Physiology and Italian. I am excited to help support students around this campus as this is my first year as a Peer Information Counselor. Working in various cultural centers allows me to aid in areas that are commonly unrepresented and ignored while also sharing resources that allow minoritized individuals to thrive and succeed. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me or attend my office hours!
Hello! My name is Marcia, and I'm double majoring in Spanish and Biology. This is my first year as a Peer Information Counselor! I am so excited to help students best utilize the library resources at the different cultural centers around campus. I think there are so many opportunities like tech lending, 3D printing, and research databases, that most students are either unaware of or don't take advantage of. I speak both English & Spanish and hope to use this skill to better connect with students of different backgrounds. Feel free to email me or come visit during my work hours for additional help. :)
