| Volunteers Needed |
UCR Needs Your Help!
 Help UCR recruit the best and brightest students for the class of 2012! We need alumni volunteers at the upcoming student recruitment events held throughout California. Alumni serve as ambassadors for the campus sharing their positive experiences and memories of UCR. The main role of alumni is to talk with prospective students and their parents about the alum's experience at UCR, reasons for choosing UCR and how they've benefited from a UCR education. The interaction with alumni, along with UCR parents and current students, at these events has proven key in UCR's recruiting efforts.

You'll also journey to the lively island of Hydra. Of course, no trip to Greece would be complete without visiting Athens, where awe-inspiring, ancient ruins are the backdrop for the bustle of modern life.
