UCI Backpack Give Back
Help encourage disadvantaged youth to pursue higher education by taking part in the annual UCI Backpack Give Back. Through June 30, we will be collecting new and lightly used backpacks in partnership with South County Outreach, an organization that helps families in crisis in southern Orange County.
UCI faculty, staff, and students may also fill out cards with encouragement and inspiration that will be placed in every backpack. To fill out an encouragement card, email [email protected].
Correction to the ASUCI Report from March 20, 2017
Following a meeting between UCI Transportation and ASUCI on Monday, March 20th a report was published that has caused confusion and frustration among students. In contrast to what was agreed upon at the conclusion of the meeting, UCI Transportation was not given the opportunity to review ASUCIs report to ensure accuracy before it was posted online. While we work with ASUCI to amend their publication, we would like to address two immediate issues incorrectly reported.
