Student Leadership program: Peer Career Advisor
Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) are students who volunteer to complete student outreach projects on behalf of Career Services. All PCAs are trained in career development issues and Career Services resources and services. PCAs lead presentations for student groups, help students find resources in the library, and can provide career development information. If you are interested in having a PCA present on a career-related topic for your group, contact Career Services at 654-1022.
