APSU's 2026-2027 Peer Leaders Set Freshmen up for Success

The Peer Leader Program empowers students to lead through serving their fellow APSU peers. Each year, approximately 100 students serve in University Success courses to come alongside first-year students as they acclimate to life as a Gov. Peer Leaders are extensively trained and play a pivotal role in the university's retention efforts.

The Peer Leader Program also has an impact on student persistence to graduation. From 2021-2025, 96.1% of peer leaders received a degree (Associates or Bachelors) from APSU. 91.3% of peer leaders received a bachelor's degree, and 67% of Peer Leaders earned an associate's and a bachelor's degree.
