Peer Academic Advisors

Peer Academic Advisors (PAAs) are an integral part of the advising community at Rice, and have been nationally recognized by the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA)! PAAs…

are competitively selected and extensively trained by the Office of Academic Advising (OAA)
serve their respective residential college community by providing peer advice to fellow students about a wide range of academically-related topics
have personal experience as a Rice student and offer accurate advice regarding specific courses, co-curricular opportunities, academic rules and procedures, and a wide range of other topics
have specific goals and expectations related to helping their fellow students
may take a 1-credit professional development course to enhance their abilities to advise

Your PAAs live right alongside you in your residential college! They serve as familiar and approachable contacts who can answer questions and point you in the right direction if they cannot answer a detailed question.

Here is a campus-wide PAA spreadsheet, sortable by various demographics.

Our PAAs are led by our outstanding Student Directors of Peer Academic Advising. For 2022-2023, Maria Hancu and Anika Sonig are leading the entire group of PAAs across campus. Questions and comments can be directed to them at paa@rice.edu.
