EDU204: Peer Leader Training

To apply to become an EOP Summer Program Peer Leader, students must apply to enroll in EDU204. If you have taken EDU204 prior to this year, you must take the course again. In this case of repeating the course, the instructor will make arrangements with you and register the course as GST303. Taking EDU204 does not guarantee you a Peer Leader position.

The course is scheduled to meet on Mondays and Wednesdays from 3:00pm - 4:30pm. You must keep this time available on your schedule for class time.

The application for EDU204 consists of a resume (as specified below), a cover letter, and two letters of recommendation.

1. Resume - Your resume should be geared to the course application. It should include your employment history and leadership roles on campus and in the community. Additionally, you should identify courses taken in your major. If you are an undeclared student, you should identify your coursework in general.

2. Cover Letter - Your cover letter should address your desire for a Peer Leader position and include what you identify as your academic strengths and why, what you identify as your leadership strengths and why, and your experience with EOP/OLS/Institutional services.

3. Recommendations - Two letters of recommendation are necessary to complete your application. Recommenders may not include members of the EOP staff (APC's or the Director). One letter must be from a faculty or professional staff member (Hall Director, faculty mentor, Compass staff, etc.). The second letter may be from a person of your choosing.
