Characteristics of a leader

Peer leaders are trustworthy, committed and enthusiastic students who are a part of the ECU community. They are good communicators who provide support to new students to make them feel welcome and make their transition into university life a little easier. Being a leader gives you the opportunity to pass on the tricks you have learned about surviving and thriving at ECU!
