University of California Irvine Parent Guide
Making the Most of the UC Irvine Experience
Since its first day of classes in 1965, UCI has experienced tremendous growth in size, reputation and accomplishments. Despite this expanding vision, we have remained focused on our original mission of teaching, research and public service.
While UCI delivers a first-rate academic experience, the Dean of Students Office is dedicated to ensuring that student learning extends beyond the classroom into the campus and surrounding communities. Students can enhance their UCI experience by taking advantage of the many leadership opportunities available. For a description, visit Leadership.
At UCI, we believe that students who are engaged and involved in university life will learn important skills related to interpersonal development, social responsibility, administration, valuing diversity and ethical decision-making.
You can encourage your student to make the most of the UCI experience by pursuing personal and professional, as well as academic, goals.
I hope this online guide provides a useful introduction to UC Irvine, and I invite you to learn more at UCI Parents Day on Sunday, November 6, 2010.
Sincerely,
Rameen Talesh, Ed.D.
Dean of Students and Assistant Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs
