ANTEATER ALUMNI ADVICE

“I still talk to my roomies 25 years later and love see where they are in their lives. My job did not even exist when I was in college, but I'm using pieces of what I learned in everything I do. Your career path is just the start of a journey - be open to the twists and turns. An hour of work is an hour of work - decide how you want to spend that hour. It's up to you!”
Michele Whiteaker '95
“UCI provided the platform for me to be successful in my athletic, graduate school, and career endeavors. It is a huge part of my identity and being a life member of the UCIAA cements the significance UCI was and is in my life.”
Simon Harrison '17
“Find peace in the present, build faith in the future, forge bonds that never break, feel pride in your perseverance.”
Paul Jones, MRUP '16
UCIAA Endowed Scholar
“Your network will be one of your largest advantages both personally and professionally. Who you meet, get to know, and surround yourself with will continuously contribute to the growth in your life.”
Samantha Luu '13
“Don't be the person that didn't say anything. Nobody is going to recognize your brilliance unless you speak up.”
