The mission of the Meiklejohn Advising Program is to select and educate peer academic advisors who will, in partnership with a faculty or staff advisor, provide academic advice and counseling primarily to first-year students.
Meiklejohn peer advisors provide a student perspective on a Brown education - which is derived from their own experience - coupled with knowledge gained from their training. They recognize the need to be responsive to each advisee's particular interests and desires and understand that education is a process of intellectual growth interrelated with the development of moral character.
Meiklejohn peer advisors further the overall goal of enabling students to work towards a liberal education, the practice of self-reflection and empathy for others.
