Student Peer Programme Organiser (SPPO) Workflow, 2022-23
The Student Peer Programme Organisers (SPPO) are students (normally 3rd years) who offer to organise/run a peer scheme. They coordinate the peer mentors to provide this support to mentees. Read our Student Peer Programme Organiser role descriptor for more information on what being an SPPO entails.
This 'workflow' is a stage-by-stage training and development process for our Student Peer Programme Organisers. It provides resources and tasks which are essential for the smooth running of a peer scheme, development opportunity, and allows for the contextualising of experience running the scheme. If you are a Peer Mentor, please follow the Peer Mentor Workflow.
If you complete all stages of this workflow by the end of term 3 in the 2022-23 Academic Year (June 2023), you will have your role as a Student Peer Programme Organiser, 2022/23 listed on your Higher Education Achievement Record (HEAR).
If you have any questions about completing the Workflow, please email us at peersupport@exeter.ac.uk and we will do all we can to help.
