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.
