Kaitlyn O'Konis of Stafford Springs, CT, has been named a Peer Advisor for the 2009-2010 academic year at Western New England College in Springfield, MA. O'Konis is a Sophomore majoring in Management at the College.

Peer Advisors are a highly select and comprehensively trained team of students who seek to assist in the college transition. Each first year student is assigned to a peer mentor who serves as a source of information, point of first contact, and conduit to college programs and support services.

Peer Advisors coach each student in the formation of the personal success plan and act as an advocate for student success. The personal success plan provides a framework for establishing specific, reasonable, measurable, attainable, realistic, and timely goals for the first semester.

Western New England College is a private, independent, coeducational institution founded in 1919. Located on an attractive 215-acre suburban campus in Springfield, Massachusetts, the College serves 3,700 students, including 2,500 full-time undergraduate students.
