During my sophomore year at AU, I served as a Peer Facilitator of the AUx Program during its fully-rolled-out pilot year. As Peer Facilitator, I worked alongside a First-Year Academic Advisor to teach and guide the once-a-week course for both AUxI and AUxII. AUxI focuses on the college transition and places emphasis on practical and essential life skills such as financial management, self-care, and stress management as well as familiarity and education surrounding AU’s resources.
