Last Friday we hosted the Second Annual Peer-Led Learning Summit! 🎉
Tutors, SI leaders, and peer educators from across campus came together for a day of community building, professional development, and conversations about the future of peer learning.
The summit featured a keynote panel with Dr. James Frazee and AI Faculty and student fellows, who led a thought-provoking discussion titled “Belonging, Trust, and Transformation: The Role of Peer Educators in an AI-Augmented University.” The panel explored how emerging AI tools are shaping higher education and emphasized the important role peer educators play in fostering trust, supporting student learning, and creating a sense of belonging in an evolving academic environment.
The summit also featured presentations and workshops led by Hajir Al Obaidi, Janelle Attiq, Dr. Sloan Zak, and Hannah Friesen, who shared insights on tutoring practices, independent learning strategies, and supporting students in an evolving academic landscape. Their sessions highlighted the impact of peer educators and provided practical approaches for strengthening tutoring, writing support, and STEM learning in the age of emerging technologies.
A big thank you to everyone who attended, presented, and helped make this event possible!
