The Pearman Fellowship program helps introduce incoming new students to the ins-and-outs of Associated Students (A.S.). The program includes a mentorship in an A.S. entity, as well as information sessions guided by students, staff, and elected officials. The mentorship program will begin later in the quarter, and prospective Fellows will be given an elected official mentor. They’ll be available to answer questions, provide hands-on experiences, and demonstrate their daily duties.
The Fellowship program is intended to establish a basis for incoming students so that they can spend their time thriving in all A.S. UCSB offices through the coming years. As a Pearman Fellow in an office, you’ll have the opportunity to network with A.S. elected officials, as well as others working to help improve UCSB. Some Fellows even get the chance to develop their own project! To learn more about the naming of this fellowship program, click here.
