Opportunities in Two SLC Peer Programs
The Student Learning Commons regularly recruits Student Peers for two programs, based in Burnaby, Surrey, or online:
- The Writing and Learning Peer Educators, and
- The English as an Additional Language (EAL) Peer Educators.
Timelines
We usually accept applications in the Spring semester for positions starting the next Fall. (We also sometimes recruit during the summer.)
How to apply
Check the SLC homepage for posting information: usually mid-February to mid-March, and sometimes mid-May to Mid-July.
When positions are open, you can apply at http://myinvolvement.sfu.ca.
If you have questions, contact us at learning-commons@sfu.ca.
About the positions
Both programs allow you to develop transferable skills in the areas of client service, interpersonal skills, giving effective feedback, and cross-cultural communication, and will give you access to a professional reference as well as a semi-private study/social space in the Bennett Library.
Joint Program
Each of the above programs involves a 5-hour per week commitment for 2 terms which don't need to be consecutive. If you are interested in both programs, you have the option of participating in both of them as a Joint Program, for a total of 7.5 hours per week. Just ask us!
