What UC at LA:
(what you see at L.A.)
In this workshop, we will explore the new student experience from what to expect, moving in, and advice from current students. This workshop will help students prepare and adjust to their new environment as first-year college students as we understand the transition from high school to college can be difficult. We will explore how to foster a healthy balance between school and social life.
Parent Workshop
This workshop is for the parents and families of students where we will be presenting on the common misconceptions of college. Parents and families will have the opportunity to ask questions to current students and hear what parents of current college students have to share. A variety of resources will be shared including CalFresh and dining, safety measures, health services, and more.
Tesoros
This is an opportunity for you all to learn a little about some of the different clubs, academic and social organizations, and community service organizations available at UCLA. This is your chance to ask questions to clubs and organizations that they may be interested in joining. We hope that you are all able to learn about the different communities here at UCLA and see a club that you will consider joining when you (hopefully)SRI to UCLA.
