Dear ICS Students,
Another day, another awesome Peer Academic Advisor to highlight!
Peer Academic Advisors are trained student staff to help out other current students with academic questions. They operate within the ICS Undergraduate 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.
Brian Bulgarelli
Major: Informatics
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:
“My favorite part has been helping out students during the drop-in Zoom hours. I think this has been my favorite part of the job so far because it’s the most interactive part of the job and, even though it’s virtual, it’s nice to help out students live.
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 the most of your time during undergrad.”
Brian is also part of ICS Student Council (ICSSC). To learn more about this club, visit the CampusGroups website or the ICS website.
