Dear PCEC Laker,

We trust that you've had a fantastic start to your classes during the initial weeks! In the upcoming weeks, there are numerous exciting activities on the horizon. Please review details about the Career & Internship Fair and the Learning to Embrace Failure event. Additionally, we encourage you to spend some time investigating potential scholarships available on MyScholarships, especially those in the fields of engineering, computing, or occupational safety and health, to see if you qualify. Most deadlines are between February 15th and March 1st! 

Are you in your first or second semester at GVSU? Did you receive an email about a registration hold on your account for the 2024-25 academic year? You must meet with an academic advisor, so you will have the ability to register for classes in March. Schedule your appointment today by clicking the button below. 

Have a great February!

Taking time to rest improves all areas of wellness, but unfortunately, it’s often overlooked. Expectations of work, school, and life can make resting seem impossible or unimportant. Let’s change that this year by making rest a priority! By taking breaks often, we are not failing, we are recharging our bodies and our minds. We encourage you to rest, relax, and refresh by Pressing Pause.
