I first learned about the PAL program while working this summer as a CalSO counselor. Through my experience with advising new students in CalSO, I really acquired some great knowledge and skills about schedule, college, and basic major advising in CNR, and loved helping incoming students by sharing my experiences with them. I decided to become a PAL after CalSO to continue being a help to students in the best college on campus, and to be able to share my experiences with them past summer orientation programs. I have had such a positive experience in the College of Natural Resources and my major of CRS that I'd like to be here to make sure everyone else has an awesome experience too!
