To respond to these feelings, we will be hosting a Student Experience Panel featuring our very own Psychology Advisors/UCSC Psychology Alumni to help give you an idea of what it will be like to be a Psychology/Cognitive Science student at UC Santa Cruz. We will be asking some common questions as well as provide space for questions from the audience.
