Meet Your Peer Leaders (2011-2012)

Peer Leaders are upper-year students in the Faculty of Environment who will be living in or visiting the Environment Living-Learning Community at St. Paul's on a regular basis. Peer Leaders will provide you with academic support, put you in touch with professors, run academic based events and help you figure out what classes to take in future terms.
