About the USP Student Representative Program

Our Mission: We are peer student advisors who provide a space for USP/RED majors and minors to engage with the resources available to them and gain representation within the department.
As students we understand how overwhelming it can be to know where to look for information and opportunities; reps intend to be a student-led one stop shop for questions, concerns, and suggestions.

Student Reps Peer Advising

Peer Advising is available both in-person and online during fall, winter, and spring quarters. Peer advising is a time to talk with another student in one of our majors and can be a great option if you have quick questions or want to talk through potentially minors, double majors, elective options, and more!

Peer Advising is now offered upon request for the remainder of the quarter. Please reach out to uspredreps@gmail.com if you would like to set up a time to meet!
