Chicano/Latino Alumni

We provide a vehicle for Chicano/Latino alumni from the University of California at Irvine to reconnect with the university and former classmates, exchange information, and meet new people. Our goals are to:

  • Serve as mentors to current students
  • Advocate on behalf of the Chicano/Latino community on campus
  • Assist the university in the recruitment and retention of Chicano/Latino students at UCI
  • Sponsor social networking events throughout the year

Join the UCI Chicano/Latino Alumni Club on Facebook.  For more information, please contact Ramon Munoz at rrmunoz@uci.edu.  Please provide full name as it appears on University records and year of graduation.
