Hello DVD 9th grade families!

Conner Ching, UCLA Ambassador, will be giving a presentation on UCLA next week in which he will introduce students and families to opportunities available at a university such as UCLA (majors, study abroad, research, etc.) 9th graders! It’s never too early to start learning about and exploring post-secondary options, before you know it you’ll be a senior applying to college!

See the details below:

Date/Time: Tuesday, March 2nd, 5-6pm PT

Zoom Link: https://ucla.zoom.us/j/97943892873

Presentation Description: ” In this presentation, I’ll introduce freshmen students to what life looks like at UCLA, including classes, clubs, and residential life. I’ll also provide a basic overview of the UC Application and the qualities UCLA looks for in applicants. Throughout the presentation, I’ll share my personal experience applying to UCLA and being a student at UCLA, and answer any questions students have about UCLA, the UCs, or the college application process in general.”

Use this opportunity to learn a bit about UCLA from someone who actually attended and now currently works for UCLA!
