Graduate Peer Career Advisors (PCAs)
Graduate Peer Career Advisors (PCAs) are trained graduate students who provide career support to their university peers. They assist with resume and cover letter reviews, Handshake and LinkedIn profile tips, and Career Competency development. Additionally, they do 1:1 appointments, workshops, and assist with events, offering practical, peer-based guidance. As fellow students, they understand the unique challenges of balancing academics and career development. Our team includes Preti Chowdhury (Data-Driven Business), Grace Loring (Business Administration), Sean Mcdonnell (Business Administration) and Miles Mitchell (Business Administration).
To talk with one of our Peer Career Advisors, please make a PCA appointment on Handshake or visit us during our stop-in hours on Tuesdays.
