Alumni Ambassador Program
Recruit for UC Riverside
As alumni of the University of California, Riverside — you already know firsthand what rich experiences and vital opportunities live at UCR. This perspective makes you the ideal connection between our campus and prospective students. Share with them what makes UCR unique, committed, and real — just like them.
UCR's Alumni Ambassador Program will allow you to speak with high school students seeking the university experience and share insightful and genuine stories about what #LifeAtUCR is all about. For many prospective students, this type of interaction is often the deciding factor in their choice to commit to our campus.
