Participants learn best practices for hiring the right candidates, conducting performance reviews, and taking corrective action—up to termination—when necessary.

We’re kicking off the third summer of doing New Student Peers. The NSP program pairs you with 2-4 incoming students as a person they can go to with questions. You’re also a familiar face they will see when they’re on campus or in class. As a New Student Peer, you are responsible for:

• Attending a 1-hour training at the end of July (time TBD)
• Reaching out to new students 2-4 times during August
• A monthly check-in during fall semester to answer questions or point the students to someone who would have answers
• Potentially taking students out for a coffee or a meal during RFS or early fall semester (reimbursed by Admissions)

This is a volunteer position! If you are a graduated senior or on leave for the school year, please do not fill out this form. Interns are welcome to be a New Student Peer. If you are interested in being a New Student Peer, please fill out this form by July 19. Questions? Contact New Student Engagement (newstudents@luthersem.edu) or Natalie Wussler (nwussler001@luthersem.edu)
