What We've Been Up To...

 I'm Going to College! On Friday, Jan. 18, Native youth from the Pechanga School came to visit UCSD and get a taste of college life. The ITRC, along with members of NASA and AIGSA put together a memorable day for the youth, filled with a trip to the financial aid office, student panels, and a lecture. We look forward to seeing some of these future Tritons when they are ready to apply in 2027! If you have a group of Native elementary school students you would like to experience college life - contact the ITRC at itrc@ucsd.edu.

UC San Diego Native Family Gathering The ITRC hosted our first Native Family Gathering! Students, community members, and family joined together with a potluck style dinner while they mingled and relaxed. This will be a recurring event - our next Native Family Gathering is on Friday, February 22nd!
