Student Recruitment

Help
UCR Attract the Best and Brightest Students!
|
|
UCR
is the fastest growing and most ethnically diverse
campus of the University of California's 10 campuses.
Even as enrollment records continue to be broken year
after year, UCR is still committed to
attracting the best and brightest students while
enhancing UCR's reputation as a leader in education
and research. Fall
2004 total enrollment was more than 17,000
students!
These
increases are due in no small part to alumni
participation in UCR’s recruitment efforts.
Alumni volunteers serve as ambassadors at
student recruitment receptions throughout California,
sharing their positive experiences and memories of UCR
and how they have benefited from their UCR education.
Help us in our pursuit of excellence by
attracting outstanding, well-prepared students to UCR.
