2012-2013 MEMBERSHIP INFORMATION
The Xavier University Peer Dean Association is a group of students who serve in many capacities through the academic year. A major responsibility for Peer Dean Association members is serving as Peer Deans (orientation leaders) during the New Student Orientation Program. Peer Deans gain valuable experiences in leadership, service, communication, team building, and problem solving, as members of Peer Dean Association. Beyond orientation, the Peer Dean Association also sponsors several programs through the year that are targeted at meeting the needs of new students.
Peer Dean Planning Committee
The Peer Dean Planning Committee (PDPC) serves at the Executive Council for the Peer Dean Association. As members of PDPC, students get the opportunity to expand their leadership capabilities by working directly with full time staff to plan and implement an effective and fun-filled orientation program.
