In the summer of 2023, PC3 brought its first-ever cohort to campus from May 31st to August 5th, 2023. As a participant in PC3, students commuted to the University of Michigan's Ann Arbor campus for 10 weeks during the summer. PC3 offered them:

  • Stipend of $6,000
  • Academic advising
  • Peer-to-peer mentoring
  • Job shadowing and career exploration
  • Student-led, non-credit coursework
  • …and more fun activities with their cohort!

Check out this webinar for more information about PC3 by Dr. McClinton. (Note: In the webinar, we talk about the Go Blue Gaurantee and say that students require a 3.5 GPA or higher to qualify. This is not required for the UM-Ann Arbor campus.)

Below is a list of people and resources mentioned in the presentation:
