Peer Advisors
Pre-Law Peer Advisors (PLPAs) are UConn undergraduate students who are pursuing a pre-law track, alongside diverse major plans of study, and are involved in the greater university community in many ways. They work closely with the Pre-Professional Advising Office to share their experiences and mentor other students throughout their pre-law journeys. PLPAs attend various office group advising sessions, workshops, and campus outreach events and are available for weekly in-person drop-in and virtual drop-in mentoring hours.

NOTE: There are certain topics of conversation that are best addressed during a 1:1 appointment with a staff advisor from our office. If a PLPA does not think that they are the best person to address your questions, they may refer you to a staff advisor.
