Each participant will be assigned to a current UCSD undergraduate student who will serve as their mentor throughout the duration of the program. Students will have the opportunity to meet with their Resource Advisor on an individual basis to reflect and share their experiences of the program.

2. Residential Life Suite Meetings

Participants will reside in a suite of 6-8 high school students along with their Resource Advisor. Within the residential suite, the Resource Advisor will facilitate meetings covering a variety of topics that include but are not limited to students’ communities/neighborhood, empowerment, relationships, and identity development.

3. Workshops

Workshops provide students an opportunity to explore topics of interest that are not typically discussed in a classroom setting. Some sample topics that are covered in these workshops include UC Admissions Requirements, Financial Aid, Social Justice, Art and Activism.

4. Social Activities
