Hi my name is Jose. I'm a biology major. I want to transfer to a UC, preferably UCLA. I enjoy being an Outreach Peer Advisor because I get to help students in the early steps of their college experience. This is important to me because I wish someone would have helped or guided me when I was first starting my college experience. College of the Canyons is an excellent campus and the staff are very supportive. With any question a student may have, staff are there and ready to help. That's what makes College of the Canyons such an outstanding school and the reason I attend this college.
