"I was concerned that many wouldn’t understand the fear I had about starting college this year. P2E helped me in every way possible by easing my fears and worries. The program provided resources and helpful feedback when I had questions about CSUN. Thanks to P2E, I started my college year feeling confident and worry-free."
—Estefany Campos-Bautista,

"Before starting P2E, one of my biggest concerns was whether I would truly fit into the program. Once I began, those worries and doubts quickly went away. The P2E staff turned out to be some of the most welcoming and kindhearted people I’ve met so far in my university journey."

—Fabrizio Rodriguez,
Communication Studies

"I would recommend the P2E program for incoming freshmen because they have these little activities that just show you what to expect and help ease you into college. So, it’s really beneficial and it really made me a lot more comfortable coming into the fall semester."
—Andrea Navarro, Kinesiology Exercise Science

"The most rewarding part was definitely when I started my fall semester, confident in my math skills and confident in my studying skills. I knew I had the tools to succeed in my academic life."
—Jose Sanabria, Computer Science

"The Pathways 2 Excellence mission is to help new freshmen, straight out of high school, get accustomed to the university and its culture before stepping foot into the actual university. If you have the opportunity, do it. It’s like a cheat sheet for CSUN!"
—Espii Ruiz, Kinesiology Sports Studies and Peer Mentor
