The mission of the Student Promoted Access Center for Education and Service (SPACES) is to act as an empowering dynamic on campus where UCSD students collaborate to achieve greater educational equity. This encompasses equal access to higher education, undergraduate retention and graduation, and matriculation to graduate and professional schools. SPACES values the power of student initiated action and organizing by providing an environment for student growth and development, and thus is a foundation to create leadership and unity through community engagement.
SPACES serves as the center for student-initiated access and retention projects at the university. Student Initiated Access Programs and Services (SIAPS) shall exist as the “access” component to SPACES. The Student Initiated Programs for Holistic Retention (SIPHR) shall exist as the “retention” component to SPACES. The Student Programs Ignited for Community Engagement & Education (SPICEE) shall exist as the “community” component to SPACES.
All SPACES student staff positions are focused on increasing access to higher education, improving retention in higher education and encouraging matriculation to graduate/professional school. All student staff are expected to work in a highly collaborative manner in order to collectively improve campus climate and our connection with the San Diego community.
