LinkedIn Alumni Page
View our profile on LinkedIn

 The purpose of this LinkedIn page is so that current students and alumni can connect  with one another. The FC alumni will post on the page about their journeys at the univers ities they've transferred to/graduated from in order for our current students to gain insight on life after transferring.

The TPP team will be posting jobs on the forum as well as other events happening with TPP that our current/previous students can attend. This will also allow the students to post any internships/jobs they may know of on the page for one another. We really want you to gain an overall sense of community with our current and former students.

Canvas

Students are introduced to Canvas, Fullerton College's Learning Management System (LMS), through the Teacher Pathway Program (TPP) Summer Orientation. They will continue to use the LMS in their in-person, hybrid, or online courses. TPP cohorts will also utilize Canvas to interact with other TPP cohorts and TPP staff for additional support and engagement in their respective teaching level.
