SPACES works in collaboration with registered student organizations to offer one-day conferences that provide high school and community college students the opportunity to learn more about college while networking with current UC San Diego students. The goal of these conferences is to encourage students to take action in pursuing higher education. The program typically includes keynote speakers and workshops that address a wide range of topics including: college admissions and life, career paths and options; and social, political, cultural, and educational issues. Conference attendees are also given the opportunity to interact with current college students as they participate in student-facilitated discussions.
