Peer Advising
From left to right: Paroma Varma, Dennis Li, Hina Sakazaki
Our peer advisers are the first point of contact for students when visiting our offices. They provide advice, support, and motivation to students on a broad range of topics and issues including: student involvement, registration information, major requirements, research opportunities, internship searches, and much more. We believe that a student.s perspective is valuable in helping other students make decisions about life at Cal. Please visit our peer advisers during their office hours or contact them via email.
