For 50 years, UC Irvine’s Peer Academic Advising (PAA) program has empowered undergraduates to support fellow students through shared experience, guidance, and care. PAAs help peers plan courses, explore majors, and navigate academic policies while gaining meaningful leadership, communication, and professional skills of their own!

To mark this milestone, we are launching the 𝗣𝗔𝗔 𝟱𝟬𝘁𝗵 𝗔𝗻𝗻𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱, which supports training, professional development, and advising hours that keep peer-to-peer support accessible across campus.

💙 Join us in honoring 50 years of student impact and building the next 50.
