Get to Know Your Peer Ambassador

Sometimes, we spotlight a COH Advisor or Peer Ambassador, so you can get to know the people behind the desks at the Office of Student Success. This week, we’re glad to introduce our Peer Ambassador, HDFS major, Spanish minor, and AMP-MPH student, Erica Lopez Sanchez (she/her).
