Pathways to College
The Pathways to College event is held prior to the start of the Fall semester and provides incoming College of Science and Engineering students the opportunity to establish friendships with current students and introduce you to a supportive network.
The Pathways to College event is hosted by the PSC peer mentors, faculty and staff. Our student community provides you with the resources you will need as you begin your academic journey at UHCL. This event also introduces you to faculty and staff that are here to support you!
Some topics and activities include:
- Peer Mentor led sessions on how to adjust to college and mentorship.
- Faculty panel addressing insider tips and tricks to doing well in classes.
- A Secret Tour led by the peer mentors.
