Pathways 2 Excellence Information Session for Summer 2024
Here’s What Students Are Saying About Their Summer 2023 P2E Experience:
"I would recommend the P2E program for incoming freshmen because they have these little activities that just show you what to expect and help ease you into college. So, it’s really beneficial and it really made me a lot more comfortable coming into the fall semester."
—Andrea Navarro, Kinesiology Exercise Science
"The most rewarding part was definitely when I started my fall semester, confident in my math skills and confident in my studying skills. I knew I had the tools to succeed in my academic life."
—Jose Sanabria, Computer Science
"The Pathways to Excellence mission is to help new freshmen, straight out of high school, get accustomed to the university and its culture before stepping foot into the actual university. If you have the opportunity, do it. It’s like a cheat sheet for CSUN!"
—Espii Ruiz, Kinesiology Sports Studies and Peer Mentor
