Peer Advisors

The Peer Advisor Program began in 2018 to bridge the gap between the CDO and student body. The program offers students accessible and relevant sources of support, while peer advisors benefit from gaining communication, problem solving and leadership skills. Students interact with peers via drop-in hours, email outreach and events hosted by the CDO.

Students are meticulously selected and participate in an intensive summer workshop as well as one-on-one training from our career advisors. They are able to help their peers navigate all services the CDO offers.

Vidusshi Hingad is a senior majoring in Psychological Science and PPA Poli. Her home is Mumbai, India. As a true liberal arts student, she has diverse interests and passions. Some thematic threads that tie her passions together are 1) working with people (in teams) and 2) understanding behaviour to discover solutions.

As a first-generation South Asian woman, she is interested in representing marginalised communities by advocating for diversity, equity and inclusion.

When she is not working at the Career Development Office, you can find her at ASPC senate (as the Junior Class President), hanging out with her mock trial team or planning events with the other psychology liaisons. When she is not doing the above, you can catch her at Bua Thai or watching Arrested Development. Occasionally, you can find her performing stand up!
