The Act 101 Peer
Assistance (PA) Program recruits and trains peer assistants --
upper-level students genuinely interested in helping other students
have a good transition to college life. Each entering Act 101
Program student has the opportunity to receive PA contact

and 98% of students receiving PA services identified their overall
experience as excellent.
