Today we begin the countdown to January 14th, 2022 application deadline for the next cohort of ICS Peer Academic Advisors.
Peer Academic Advisors are trained student staff to help out other current students with academic questions. They operate within the ICS Student Affairs Office, and assist the Academic Counselors. This role of Peer Academic Advisor is a great one for undergraduate students who are looking to be involved on campus within the Bren School of ICS and the UCI student community.
We asked our current Peer Academic Advisors what they most enjoy about their role and some advice they would give their first year self. Here is what Brian Bulgarelli had to say:
I enjoy my role as a Peer Academic Advisor [PAA] because I really like helping out other students. My favorite part of the job is getting to interact with other students during drop-in hours and helping them with whatever they need.
Some advice that I’d give to my Freshman self: Enjoy your time as an undergrad, and go all out! The time passes by fast so make most of your time during undergrad.
Brian is also part of ICS Student Council or ICSSC. To learn more about the club visit their website.
