PA Group 1 reflects on Northwestern experiences

PA Group 1 reflects on Northwestern experiences

During Wildcat Welcome 2022, the students of Peer Adviser Group 1 launched their Northwestern careers together. This group from the School of Communication were the first in their year to march through Weber Arch. And now, almost four years later, they’re ready to cap the journey by marching back through. PA Group 1 spoke to Student Affairs about their Northwestern experiences and their future plans.
