Peer Advising Column

Hi there! My name is Taylor Koshiol, and I'm a first-gen college student in my fourth year at UCSD, studying Cognitive Science Design and Interaction. I'm interested in all things design, programming, and user research! This is my third year serving as a Peer Advisor for Sixth College, and I am so excited about wrapping up my time at UCSD with more fun Advising tabling and events. I'm also a research assistant for the UCSD Comparative Cognition Lab and a Dialogue for Peace Student Fellow. Below you can find weekly tips, advice, and more from me!

Week 6 5/4 - 5/8

Hey Sixers! We hope that midterm season is treating you well, and you’re enjoying the Spring vibes before the Summer heat approaches.

Next week, get ready to grab your lunchbox, your laptop, and join Sixth Academic Advising for our Spring Advising Picnic! Tuesday, May 12th, meet Sixth Academic Advisors on the East Lawn from 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM for snacks, advising, lawn games, and crafts! At the event, students can:

Bring their laptop to meet one-on-one with an Advisor for a quick degree audit check and ensure they're on track for graduation
Create custom keychains or tassel charms for grad caps
Write a letter, or a thank you card, to a Professor or graduating senior
Play games on the lawn
Bring your lunch to relax with friends! We can't wait to see you there!

UCSD students only. Students must sign in with PID and bring their Student ID card for grad checks. Snacks and craft activities are first-come, first-served, and while supplies last. Degree audit checks are not to be used in place of regular advising sessions.

We can’t wait to see you there!
