Dear PCEC Laker,

Spring/Summer semester is now in full swing at GVSU! Our PCEC advisors are working hard conducting advising and registration sessions for first-year and transfer students.

If you took classes at GVSU during the Winter 2024 semester, please make sure to review your grades and future course work to see if you need to make any changes. It will benefit you to make any changes NOW versus August. Please do not hesitate to contact us via email or phone if you have any questions or concerns.

Have a great summer!
The PCEC Advising Team

Shout out to everyone that participated in Project Day!

On April 18, 2024, more than 90 computing, engineering, and occupational safety and health management students presented their senior and team projects at the Shape Corp. Innovation and Design Center on the Pew Grand Rapids Campus. 

Project Day is sponsored by the Seymour and Esther Padnos College of Engineering and Computing (PCEC) and showcases the culmination of what students have learned in the classroom and in collaboration with industry partners! 

Congratulations to the OSH team with Jolene and MyAphasia who won the People's Choice Award! 

Campus dining is open for the summer! Summer hours effective April 29 - August 1. There are slight differences in campus dining on orientation days. Please see those hours here. 

The Grand Valley Solar Racing Team is looking for engineering students at all levels to help create and implement designs for their solar car. This is a great opportunity to grow and apply your skills to real life applications. It's also a good way to build your resume with team and project work as well as create connections with large innovative companies like Tesla, Rivian, and Blue Origin.

The Solar Racing Team meets in the Innovation and Design Center on Pew Campus on Mondays and Wednesdays from 6 - 8pm.

Last week marked a special occasion in our academic calendar - Global Advising Week, a time dedicated to acknowledging the invaluable support and guidance our advisors provide to students like you. As we reflect on the impact they have on our academic journeys, let's take a moment to appreciate their dedication and wisdom.

Throughout the week, we had the privilege of hearing from seven remarkable advisors, each sharing their unique expertise and guidance. Their wisdom and encouragement have undoubtedly left a lasting impact on our community. Who knows, you might find just the motivation you need to pursue your dreams!

As we reflect on the enriching conversations and mentorship shared during this special week, we invite you to join us in expressing gratitude to our dedicated advisors.

If any advisor's words resonated with you or if you simply want to extend your appreciation, we encourage you to drop them an email with your notes of thanks.

Effective May 6- August 25, 2024!
