What is Academic Career?
Academic Career Coordinators inform the club of important deadlines & dates (PolyPlanner, Career Fairs, registration, etc.), facilitates Mentor/Mentee and ProGrub, and ultimately aims to help PCE members academically. Academic Career is here to help you with any academic related questions such as major changes, scheduling conflicts, withdrawal processes, and academic resources! Academic Career has reserved study rooms in the UU that we encourage PCE members to take advantage of, check out the calendar below for dates and times.
Mentor/Mentee Program
What’s Mentor/Mentee?
Mentor/Mentee is PCE’s academic mentorship program where mentees are paired with a mentor within the same major or college. It’s an awesome way to get to meet older students in PCE who will help you navigate your way through the academic part of college and share their tips and advice. We encourage members of any year to apply.
How do I join the program?
We go through our Mentor/Mentee process once a year during the Fall Quarter. More information and sign-up forms will be announced and shared at our general meetings then so be on the lookout! If you have any further questions, contact our Academic Career Coordinators.
Also join us for…
Progrub
ProGrub, which is short for Progress Grub, is an event that happens spring and winter quarter where we gather together with some food and members are recognized for their academic progress. If you did well or accomplished any personal goals during quarter, we’ll celebrate it! Also come out and support your friends!
Workshops
Thoughout the year, we invite different presenters to host academic workshops for PCE. One of our latest workshops was a Resume Workshop with Cal Poly Careers Services and professional head-shots from WMM!
