Let's take it back to August and look at what some prospective transfers are looking forward to here at UCR!

CHASS F1RST and the School of Education did a wonderful job leading these bright students in research and personal development!

Hometown: Pomona, CA 🏠

Favorite Emoji: 😭

Hobbies:
My favorite activity/hobby is reading.

Who inspires you?:
The person that inspires me the most is myself, more specifically my younger self. I think back at all the things I wanted to be when I grow up and I think my younger self would be proud of who she became.

Clubs/Orgs:
I was a part of the pre-law fraternity Phi Alpha Delta (PHI ALPHA DELTA @ UCR), as well as the Chicano Student Program (Chicano Student Programs @ UCR).

Self-Discovery:
I discovered how much I loved reading again. During my time at UCR I was able to pick up a book and read whether it be outside at the HUB or at the Botanic Gardens. It made me realize how much I missed reading whenever time permitted.

Advice:
Don’t be afraid to ask for help! As someone who is very independent and hates to ask for help, it won’t ruin your world and it won’t make you any less independent.

Post-Grad Plans:
Post graduation I’m gonna study for the LSAT and go to law school.

Hey Highlanders! 🐻💙💛 School is just around the corner… and we’re SO excited to see everyone again!!!🎓✨🫏

Before you head back to campus here are a few tips to start the year off right:
📚 Check your class schedule + locations
☀️ Give yourself extra time to get around campus (especially those first few days! campus can be bigger than you think)
🅿️ Plan your parking or transportation ahead of time(it gets a little busy!)
💧 Stay hydrated. Riverside heat is no joke!
📱 Check your UCR email and Canvas for updates
🧭 Don’t be afraid to ask for directions :) we’ve all been there!

See you soon, Highlanders! 🐻🫏💛
