Peer Leader: Student Activities Office

ABOUT THE PEER LEADER PROGRAM:

The Peer Leader Program serves to synthesize the work of these 12 offices into one developmental experience for students’ current and prospective aspirations.

In conjunction with The Student Activities Programming Board (SAPB) and The Carleton Student Association (CSA), we offer and support programs and services designed to challenge beliefs, educate others, inspire the individual, entertain the soul, and create a sense of campus community and pride. By joining SAPB, students will gain skills in role modeling, problem solving, respect, work ethic, communication, time management, event promotion, event planning, affinity building.
