The Academic Advising Center/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0(AAC) Peer Ambassador Program launched in 2021 to provide peer-to-peer advisement support for matriculated undergraduate students. Since then, the program has grown with the generous support and collaborative partnerships of College Access: Research Action & (CARA),/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0Career Launch/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783//Service Corps,/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0Gates Foundation,/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0Gray Foundation,/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0Petrie Foundation,/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0Summerfield Foundation/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0and/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/u00a0CUNY Central Office of Student Affairs (COSA)./aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/n

In addition to these grant-funded partnerships, the AAC is excited to announce a new collaboration with the Sociology Department beginning Fall 2025. Eligible students may now earn 3 Sociology elective credits for their work as peer leaders through our structured peer mentoring program. This collaboration allows students to gain valuable leadership experience while earning college credit./aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/n

The AAC Peer Ambassadors initiate contact with new students during the new student onboarding cycle to assist with a successful transition into the first semester.

The Academic Advising Center (AAC) Peer Ambassador Program began in 2021 with the goal to develop peer-to-peer advisement support for matriculated undergraduate students. Since then, the program has expanded with the generous support and collaborative partnerships of College Access: Research Action & (CARA), Career Launch/aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783//Service Corps, Gates Foundation, Petrie Foundation, Summerfield Foundation and CUNY Central Office of Student Affairs (COSA)./aac/wp-json/wp/v2/pages/7783/n
