Peer Concentration Advisors (PCAs) serve as peer advisors for current CS concentrators and pre-concentrators, providing a valuable perspective and helping students to discover additional resources and opportunities. Students can reach out to meet with PCAs with similar academic, career, or extracurricular interests.
For more information, please reach out to the PCA Co-Captains, Bright Liu and Natalia Siwek, through the email address cs-pca@seas.harvard.edu.
