Undergraduate Departmental Representatives Program

Strengthening the Undergraduate Learning Experience

Undergraduate departmental representatives are peer advisers who have been selected for leadership positions with the aim of strengthening the undergraduate learning experience and community within their academic departments and programs.

Specifically, UDRs:

• Provide academic and career information to majors/minors. Roosevelt Fellows also serve as peer curricular advisors to undergraduates, although their role and responsibilities differ from that of UDRs. What is the difference between a UDR and a Roosevelt Fellow?

• Organize meetings with students and/or group informational sessions on topics related to their program (outside speakers, alumni/career panels, internships, research opportunities).

• Disseminate information on current department/program events, activities and other relevant happenings.

Candidates are chosen by departments each spring through a competitive process for the following academic year.
