Peer advising and mentoring programs continue to develop in number, in the breadth of student types they serve, in the services they offer, and in the methods by which these services are delivered. In addition, institutions face increasing pressure to do more with less, to improve efficiencies and to demonstrate student-centered effectiveness. The increasing complexity of peer advising roles and institutional demands have created a puzzle with many intricate and interlocking pieces.
