Career Peer Educators (CPEs)

Who Are Career Peer Educators?

We are full-time undergraduates who serve as a bridge between UCS and students by marketing programs, staffing events and leading workshops. We are trained by UCS career counselors on various aspects of the career planning and job search processes. In addition, we are "experts" on UCS programs and resources. In short, we offer one-of-a-kind advice because as student leaders, we utilize the services and resources we promote!

This year, our awesome team consists of: (click on photos to learn more about each CPE)
