Study breaks, baseball outings, apple picking, trips to the theater, New Haven Restaurant Week - these are just some of the things that your Pierson Student Activity Committee and College Council have organized for the Pierson student community. You can get involved and put forward your own ideas for fun activities.

William Hin ‘25

“Hellooo Piersonites! I’m William, and I’m a sophomore from Southern California majoring in Ethics, Politics, and Economics. Fun fact: I love to dance, hike, and play volleyball! I’m so excited to be serving as co-PSAC, and I’m even more excited to meet y’all in person at our meetings!”

Diego Ramirez ‘25

Heyoo. I’m Diego and I’m an E&EB major from the central valley in California. Pierson is a pretty chill and welcoming place which is why I decided to serve as one of the PSACs in the first place. I’m very excited to be bringing back events this year like Inferno and Semi-Formal and to see more fun Pierson events in the future.

Celina Zhao ‘25

I’m Celina, a sophomore majoring in Economics and on the pre-med track. Besides PCC, I’m involved in the sophomore class council and I’m in Alpha Phi Sorority. In my free time I like to watch Love Island (but only the UK version) and go to the beach. I’m so excited to serve as PSAC this year!
