The Peer Advising Office

Location: 706 PLC
Phone: (541) 346-5012
Email: peersoc@uoregon.edu

The Peer Advising Office (706 PLC) is staffed by sociology undergraduates who have been trained to advise students on both sociology and University requirements. They assist with planning a course of study, and using the University's other resources. The Peer Advising Office is staffed during the academic year. Check the schedule posted on 706 PLC for current office hours.

Students new to the sociology major are encouraged to meet with a peer adviser before seeing the assigned faculty adviser. This is to prepare the student for a more productive meeting with the faculty adviser. The peer adviser can assist with online progress reports, can help fill out the sociology planning worksheet, and maintains files on graduate and professional programs, internships, and career opportunities. Peer advisers can assist students with areas of concentration in planning their future academic and professional careers. Students are urged to take frequent advantage of the services of the Peer Advising Office.
