A PAL can help you with:

“It is always easy to talk to the PALs, which doesn’t make me nervous to schedule an appointment when I don’t know what I am doing.”

“I remember when I first started at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue with being a nurse. The PALs were very helpful and kind helping me set up an appointment with my advisor. When I was leaving nursing, the PALs were helpful with providing information on switching advisors, and even programs that would help me pick a different major.”

We hire students to work during the day in our Oshkosh office. Check back in February for how to join our team to help your peers while building skills for your future career.  

“In the short amount of time I have been a PAL my entire personality has changed.  I was not confident in anything I did for about the first semester. I know for a fact I would not be where I am today without this job. I have learned skills that have given me the opportunity to apply for positions (and get them) with skill sets way above my level. I have learned what being on a team truly means, and I have gained so much self-confidence that I never had before.”

“I have truly learned so much from this position. It has helped shape me into who I am today.”

“I like the sense of camaraderie amongst the PALs and how we can rely on each other when we have questions or need support. I think the strengths of the program stem from the amount of training we receive. Because we are so well prepared, we are able to use our critical thinking skills to give students correct information and referrals.”

“Being a PAL benefited me in ways I did not expect. It has helped my communication immensely, and I have learned so much about conflict resolution as well. It has contributed to my development as a professional, too.”
