Student Recruitment
|
UCR
Needs Your Help!
|
|
Help UCR recruit the best and brightest students
for the class of 2009! We need alumni volunteers at
the upcoming Chancellor’s Reception 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 the alumni is to talk with
prospective students and their parents about the
alum's experience at UCR, reasons for choosing UCR and
what their education has done for them. The
interaction with alumni, along with UCR parents and
current students, at these events has proven key in
UCR’s recruiting efforts.

HOW SCHOLARSHIPS HELP:
"Because
I do not qualify for financial aid, the Alumni Association Freshman Scholarship
helped pay my UCR fees. It is comforting to know that alumni
care about undergraduate students like me and
that they are seeking to help us by providing much needed
scholarships." -Esther Oh
HOW YOU CAN HELP:
Contributions can be
made by clicking on the following link and designating your donation to
