INTERNATIONAL PEER ADVISORS

International PeerAdvisors (IPAs) are UCI students who have returned from an EAP or IOP experience abroad. They have been trained in advising skills and program information, can help you locate an international opportunity that fits your needs, and have a multitude of experiences to share.
