The first quarter of college is exciting, but can be overwhelming, as you meet a lot of people and check out different student groups and events.
Come talk with our amazing TAs about navigating the Allen School and college life! This is a great opportunity to learn about getting involved and what you might expect from being an Allen School direct-admit student. We are thrilled to share our experiences, resources, and tips for you!
Due to limited interest, after week 5, we canceled the scheduled office hours, but you can still reach out to any TAs you like with questions or a request to meet them.

I was also in charge of managing the GitHub repository to prevent merge conflicts.
