Peer Leader Professional Development
Webinar Series
Free Webinars & Meetings — Live
This FREE webinar subscription offers multiple session topics throughout the academic term. Many of the sessions are conducted by actual peer leaders from across the US. Sessions are offered twice a week and will not be recorded to protect the active learning space being cultivated by presenters and participants.
The Peer Leader Professional Development Webinar Series is led by SI Leaders and is intended to serve as an ongoing professional development opportunity for SI Leaders. However, SI supervisors and practitioners are welcome to join these webinars for key takeaways to share with SI Leaders at their respective institutions.
Commitment to SI Leadership Development Certificate
Student Leaders who attend at least three webinars across two consecutive terms (Fall–Spring or Spring–Fall) will earn the Commitment to SI Leadership Development Certificate. This certificate recognizes your dedication to professional growth and ongoing leadership development and serves as a valuable addition to your resume, LinkedIn profile, or professional portfolio.
