Peer Academic Liaisons (PALs) are the FYF peer mentors—current MiraCosta students who have been in college for at least 1 year who can help guide you in your transition to MiraCosta. PALs support you throughout your first year by helping you learn about the many resources and support services available to you at MiraCosta. Beyond that, PALs check in with you throughout each semester to see how you’re doing, they plan and host regular social and academic events just for you, can help you build community on your new campus, and share what it takes to be successful from a student’s perspective.
Connect with the PALs
There are so many ways to connect with the PALs! You can live chat with a PAL on Cranium Cafe, schedule a meeting or phone call, or send them an email.
