本学期，哈佛学生Emily Ramirez开始作为同伴咨询研究员为一年级的新生提供咨询服务。
和学监以及学术顾问一样，同伴咨询研究员（PAF）是哈佛为一年级学生提供的咨询网络的一部分。
PAF每周都会在一年级新生所居住的入口通道处举行一些有趣的活动，如问答夜、美食跑、迷你奥运会，以及其他一些“愚蠢”而有趣的活动。
Emily Ramirez为我们带来了在她成为同伴咨询研究员之后，与一年级新生及“同事们”之间发生的有趣故事：
回想起自己的一年级生涯
与新生交朋友
一起探索线下校园内的未知与美好
Convcation Day
Getting to connect with first-year students reminds me of all there was to be excited about during my first year, from meeting new friends, to moving into my first-year dorm, to going to my first classes.
Being a PAF has been such a rewarding experience so far! Getting to connect with first-year students reminds me of all there was to be excited about during my first year, from meeting new friends, to moving into my first-year dorm, to going to my first classes. As a PAF, it has also been exciting to see my PAFees begin to find their niche on campus and start to make friends.
On a personal level, I also really like the mentorship aspect of PAFing. I love checking in with my PAFees and asking them about classes, how they’re balancing their workload, social life, and extracurriculars. I give them advice on how to navigate campus resources, give them reassurance as needed, and even tell them my best-kept secrets for dining in Harvard Square on a budget. I love mentoring, and being able to share advice for students who are coming into my learning and living environment is a great way to do this.
Study Break!These are a few of the students in our entryway at our study break!
One of the challenges in this new role, however, has been giving advice about a campus I am also still getting to know. I remember during the first few days of classes, my PAFees would ask me about a particular building or lecture hall, and I had to Google it with them. Beyond Harvard’s physical space, there are also elements of social life I am getting used to. Whereas the phenomenon known as Zoom fatigue was something I grew accustomed to and could manage, it seems that now I have the opposite problem! Getting used to face-to-face interaction again has been a learning experience I was not expecting. In these instances, it sometimes feels a little silly or embarrassing to admit that I don’t know everything, or that I am also (re)learning some elements of campus life. Nevertheless, I know my advice can be helpful and needed, and I am happy to learn along with my PAFees.
As I continue with my remaining three years at Harvard, I hope to continue PAFing in order to learn from first-year students, and hopefully give out advice that I have taken for myself. The PAF program is a big highlight of my Harvard experience, both as a first-year and now as a PAF. It proves that sometimes, hanging with freshmen can be cool.
Shoutout to my 8 PAFees. You all are amazing and have blown me away with your talent, grit, and warmth. You make my job incredibly easy.
