You are not required to stay all day, but we do encourage it so you can get the most out of our event. You are free to leave whenever you need to. If I don’t identify as Chicanx, is this event still for me? Yes! Although this event has an emphasis towards Chicanx/Latinx transfer students we understand that UCLA admits come from a variety of backgrounds and identities. The tools that students are provided regarding campus knowledge and resources at TRD are useful for all students and this event also provides a great opportunity for students to interact and gain new perspectives on what a UCLA student is like. Why is this event important? Mecha de UCLA Transfer Raza day is an important event for you as a transfer student. This event will provide information about graduate school, the opportunities that one can receive by attending UCLA, financial aid and how it works, and information on how the transition was from community college to UCLA from current transfer students. In addition, this event provides a chance to visit UCLA, get a good sense of the campus, and network with other transfers from your class. We know you have many admittance letters and we want to make sure you leave our event feeling well informed about our campus!
