Education Abroad Peer Advisor Application | OIE // Webform and Resources

Peer Advisors are students who have participated in a GT study abroad program (exchange, faculty-led, instructional sites, and/or global internship/research). As a Peer Advisor, you will play a critical role in promoting study abroad to Georgia Tech's students while gaining experience in public speaking, leadership, and marketing. You will help the GT Education Abroad team at campus events throughout the academic year, talk to fellow students who are interested in specific programs, and help develop marketing materials.

Being a part of the Peer Advisor program is a minimum two-semester commitment. The majority of events that Peer Advisors will assist with will be taking place during the day, with only a handful of events taking place in the evening. Those who fail to meet specific Peer Advisor requirements during the semester will be dismissed from the program. If you want to be a Peer Advisor but are unable to participate for some reason, feel free to email education.abroad@oie.gatech.edu and we can explore alternative ways for you to contribute to the international education community.
