The Peer Academic Leaders (PALs) are happy to announce that they have completed their first whole month of programming this academic year.
In September, the PALs hosted:
- 4 Degree Planner Workshops
- 2 Peer Panels
- 2 Advice Booths
- 2 Enhancement Workshops highlighting the A-LEC and SMU 360.
The PALs consistently marketed all their events via Instagram, physical flyers, and digital boards across campus. These efforts proved successful, as the PALs averaged 10-30 attendees per event.
The PALs have also succeeded with their one-on-one advising appointments at Laura Lee Blanton in Suite 102. Undergraduate students scheduled appointments in Booking.SMU with the PALs to cover topics such as Degree Planner, and how to get involved on campus as a Freshman.
With a month of programming under their belt, the PALs are eager to get a start on their October events.
They will host workshops throughout the month highlighting Spring Enrollment, with their first one being held on October 20th. Students can find their PALs before then; however, during their October Peer Panel that will highlight TAOS, Intersessions, and Study Abroad experiences.
The Office of General Education also encourages SMU students to take advantage of the PALs office hours should they prefer a one-on-one appointment with a PAL.
