Academic Engagement

What is Academic Engagement?

Academic Engagement is a commission that aims to provide academic support, guidance, and empowerment by hosting engagement events that will offer UCI students opportunities to communicate and network with professors/graduate students/alumni and individuals from various fields of interest. In addition, we offer academic resources to support students in their academic endeavors and struggles. Our goal is to help students who are unsure of their career options explore different academic options.
