College Information Day & UCI Baseball Game
Making the Connection to Higher Education
If you have never seen the UCI campus, then you're in for a treat!  If you have visited before, then be prepared to see it in a whole new light.  This year we will provide a tasty lunch, information on how to get into college, a student panel, an overview of resources for Native students at UCI, and new this year: catch a game with the UCI Baseball Team, 2009 Big West Champions!  UCI is currently ranked No.8 in the country!

The team is led by head coach Mike Gillespie, who was recently inducted into the American Baseball Coaches Association Hall of Fame. Gillespie, the 2009 conference Coach of the Year, is 87-33 in two seasons at UCI and led the Anteaters to their first Big West title with a 22-2 record. Under his guidance the Anteaters also were ranked No. 1 during the regular season for the first time and went on to make their fifth NCAA postseason appearance in six years.

UC Connections Program
University-Community Connections (UCC)

The new UCC program is funded through the University of California, Office of the President to help Native students, parents, and counselors in and around Orange County to create a supportive college-going environment with consistent attention to student success through individual academic planning and follow-up. The goal is to enable 50% more Native students achieve their college aspirations while maintaining their cultural grounding.  Sign-up at the College Information Day or call (949) 824-6251.
