About Warrington Welcome
Warrington Welcome, also referred to as Introduction to Business, is a one-credit course for freshmen business students. It is highly suggested that students take it their first semester on campus. It is facilitated by a professional staff member and an upper-level business student, called a Peer Leader.
What is a Peer Leader?
A Peer Leader is an upper-level business student that serves a vital function as co-instructor for the Warrington Welcome course. Peer Leaders assist students by serving as a peer advisor, role model, and a representative of the Warrington College of Business. While serving their fellow students, they gain skills highly valued by employers and graduate schools.
