Running between mid-June and mid-August, students in the Class of 2028 will be required to make at least one fifteen-minute advising appointment each with the 2024 summer peer advising team. The team is made up of newly graduated, highly trained, and experienced seniors who served as first-year counselors (“FroCos”) during the 2023-2024 academic year.
These advising appointments are intended as a space for incoming first-years to ask questions about academics, course registration, and residential college life before coming to campus. Once on campus, they will have access to additional sources of advice, including their own FroCos, assigned to them by their residential colleges; the head and dean of their residential college; their college advisor, assigned to them by their residential college dean, faculty members, resource office staff, to and others.

Introducing the Yale College Summer Peer Advising Program
Between June 12-August 18, 2023, incoming first-years will have the opportunity to schedule 15” virtual meetings with peer advisers through the Yale College’s summer peer advising program for the Class of 2027.
You may sign up for an appointment here.
(Students in the Class of 2027 also will have continued opportunities to receive guidance and advice once they arrive on campus in late August and during the academic year. Many of these officially begin on move-in day and are spelled out elsewhere on this website (college advisers, the Academic Fair, residential college deans, first-year counselors, directors of undergraduate studies, and more).
Who?
The summer peer advisers in the program are recently graduated seniors who served as 2022-2023 first-year counselors (“FroCos”) in their residential colleges. They are also supported by members of the Yale College Dean’s Office.
[Coming soon!] Click here for mini-bios of the 2024 summer peer advisers.
