Peer Advising Leaders (PALs)
Peer Advising Leaders (PALs) are experienced students who offer the perspective of someone who has been where you are now. Peer Advisors are located in the AACE lobby in SA 2300. They are available daily to answer quick questions. Peer Advisors can also assist you in navigating online registration, show you how to access your Degree Audit Report (DAR) and also give you some ideas on how to write a resume and cover letter. Finally, PALs can guide you on how to make the most of your college experience. Connect with PALs at pals@csueastbay.edu or www.facebook.com/AACEPALs
