Chicago-Kent Peer Advisors

Each year, entering students remark that much of their most informative and valuable information comes from other students. As someone who has been there, your advice can be critical to the success of our incoming class. Peer Advisors will be paired with one or two first-year students to provide one-on-one advice and guidance about adjusting to the law school experience.
