Open-ended data from the 2009 National Survey of Peer Leaders were analyzed to explore the impact of peer leadership on academic performance. While most participants suggested the experience had no effect on academics, perceptions varied by role.

Implications for reframing peer leader experiences to support broader developmental outcomes are explored.
