Summer 2023 Residence Hall Director
Megan Go
Hi there! My name is Megan Go (she/her), and I am the Pre-College Summer Student Affairs Coordinator. While I spent half my life in the Philippines, I've been in Connecticut the past decade and now I'm here at the University of Connecticut pursuing my Master's in Higher Education and Student Affairs. I have been working with the professional staff throughout the year to prepare for this summer, and I couldn’t be happier with the residential staff we have selected to work with you. You can learn more about each of them below. These are the folks who will be your main point of contact throughout the program, so getting to know a little about them before you join PCS is a great idea. We are so excited to see you this summer!
