Fall 2023 Meetings
Thursday, September 15 – Welcome back! Our first meeting will be on September 15, and we’ll be meeting in Humanities 308 from 5 – 6pm. This meeting will be a “meet and greet,” but we can plan out the rest of the semester’s meetings. We’re looking forward to seeing you all! Please take a look at this informational flyer and email mbagaglio@palomar.edu if you have any questions!
Thursday, October 12 – Transfer and Scholarship Workshop! We will provide some general information about transferring and scholarships, but it would be great if students could bring some of the materials they are preparing for their transfer packet. We might also be able to get someone from the transfer center to answer questions. Please take a look at this informational flyer and email mbagaglio@palomar.edu if you have questions!
