INTRODUCTION
Student Initiated Recruitment and Retention Committee members are passionate about reaching out to high school and 1st year UCSB students. SIRRC’s outreach programs build a bridge from high school to the university and give new students the support they need to take advantage of everything UCSB has to offer. This support includes hosting midterm and finals study jams to help students achieve academically. It also encourages new students to participate in student organizations on campus that open the way to student leadership opportunities. SIRRC’s G.U.I.D.E.S. Mentorship Program develops student leaders and encourages academic success. SIRCC members strive to help improve the lives of under-represented, under-privileged, low-income students. Often they are the first in their families to go to college. As such, in a real sense they’re the promise of the future for both their families and their communities.
SIRRC ACTIVITIES
SIRRC AFFILIATES
SIRRC partners with several campus groups to help identify students to recruit and support them once they’re on campus. Like SIRRC, each of these groups works to build community. They include:
American Indian Student Association
AS SIRRC BOOK BANK
SIRRC administers the AS SIRRC Book Bank located in the AS Annex by Storke Tower. The books are all donated and students can check out the ones they need out for their classes with an Access card. Book donations are much appreciated!
