“Volunteering with the Parent and Family Engagement team at UCI is my committed interest that serves dual purpose. I not only get to connect and network with Anteaters involved in my child’s education ecosystem but it also provides me with an amazing opportunity to collaborate, serve and contribute to make a positive impact to strengthen the UCI community.”
