Peer advisors are SHHS students who already have experienced some of what IU Indianapolis has to offer and want to share what they’ve learned with you. In addition to their experiences, peer advisors are trained to understand the ins-and-outs of SHHS and our programs. They are available to help answer questions and provide a student’s perspective.
