Peer Navigators
Are you a freshman, transfer, or returning student at MSUB? Peer Navigators are here to guide you! They are fellow students who offer personal and professional support to help you succeed. They assist with time management, study skills, course navigation, connecting to campus resources, and more. Peer Navigators are also available to assist and support continuing students.
Most incoming students will be matched with a Peer Navigator automatically in their first year at MSUB. If you have not been matched with a Peer Navigator but would like to receive dedicated Peer Navigator support for a semester or more, email katharine.moffat@msubillings.edu. You can also make an appointment with a Peer Navigator online at any time through Navigate: How to make an appointment? Whether you need support for a few weeks or a few semesters, the Peer Navigator program is here for you!
There is no long-term commitment. You can meet with a Peer Navigator as often as you need, whether it’s for a single session or ongoing support throughout the semester.
No, the Peer Navigator program is offered to all MSUB students who have paid student fees.
Peer Navigators communicate with students through various channels, including in-person meetings, email, phone calls, text messaging, and virtual meetings, depending on what works best for you.
You can see the instructions here: Find Your Advisor
You can see the instructions on how view holds here: Check Your Academic Holds. Peer Navigators can assist you with understanding what various holds mean and the process required to clear them.
Peer Navigators can help you develop effective time management strategies to stay on top of your deadlines. Schedule an appointment with a Peer Navigator or respond to your assigned Navigator’s outreach messages for support!
MSUB Peer Navigators are your go-to resource for both personal and professional support, serving as a helpful sounding board for incoming and returning students.

Kennedy Skinner
Hello Yellowjackets! My name is Kennedy, and I’m a member of the Peer Navigating team. Enrolling at MSU Billings as a non-traditional student, I experienced a lot of challenging adjustments re-entering student life. It can be difficult to manage all the new expectations as well as effectively utilize student support systems, let alone balance home life! However, it’s a pleasure to be of service to our incoming and returning students. As a peer Navigator, my goal is to empower fellow students to achieve their goals and traverse this part of their educational journey with grace. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing the campus experience.
