RISE同侪辅导 Program (Retention through Interpersonal Student Engagement) is here to help! We aim to positively impact the experience of Black students and their allies at 加州大学洛杉矶分校 who are either first-time freshmen or transfer students during their first year. We pair new students with continuing students to help them successfully settle into their home away from home.

学生的故事

"As a mentee with the RISE program, I felt that I could be open and felt welcomed. Personally, my mentor goes above and beyond to make me feel like family. Along with others in the program, I feel like I have a welcoming place to go when I need to at 加州大学洛杉矶分校. 这是一个家外之家."
