Honors Scholar Peer Leaders

Founded in 2016, Scholar Peer Leaders serve as leaders and mentors to Scholars. First-year Scholars have access to SPLs, who will assist with making the transition to college and getting involved on campus. This group organizes and hosts several community-building events such as the Scholar Formal and Orientation. They are also exemplary role models to their fellow program.

We are looking for motivated students that are interested in helping students become connected with the Hunter community, faculty, student leaders, and student life. SPLs will help us with our community building efforts and represent their assigned cohort.
