Peer Advisors

BRDD Peer Advisors

Dual Degree Peer Advisors primarily support first and second-year Dual Degree students by offering advice and connecting them with campus resources. Peer Advisors also advocate the student voice to campus administrators, represent the Program on our campuses, and organize community events for all Dual Degree students across the academic years.

BRDD Minority Peer Advisor

The BRDD Minority Peer Advisor helps cultivate an environment of inclusivity and equality. The BRDD Minority Peer Advisor helps BRDD students of color and other minoritized identities including those of ability, class, gender, sexuality, first generation and/or international student status, and other social identities, to navigate the complex academic and social environments of Brown, RISD, and the Brown|RISD Dual Degree Program.
