Community Engaged Learning Opportunities
* Please contact Sarah E. Juarez (Community Learning Coordinator) at gsoelearningcoord at ucr.edu<mailto:gsoelearningcoord at ucr.edu> if you are interested in our community engaged learning opportunities below and want to learn how to access them.
If you are not able to access a computer with a camera but are still interested in signing up, please let Sarah know.
1. Freshmen Collective - Peer Mentoring
The Freshman Collective is an exciting new mentoring program for UCR students who are entering college as a freshman. Students are matched with mentors who are there to offer guidance as students acclimate to life in college. Mentors will assist mentees in navigating the many adjustments that students often face when attending college for the first time.
Students connect with one another using text messages. There is no need for an app, no downloads, nor any websites to visit. Just text your mentee(s) to see how they are doing.
Here’s how the Freshman Collective works:
* Time Commitment:
* Mentors serve for one-year (Oct-June). However, you’re more than welcome to stay connected with your mentee(s) after the program formally ends.
* We recommend that you connect with your mentee(s) at least once per month, typically about 1-2 hours a month.
* Mentors take a one-time, 30 minute, mentor training to show you how to connect and provide you with the resources to be a great mentor.
* Matching Process:
* Students complete a survey about themselves and their backgrounds.
* Mentor Collective matches students and mentors based on what the student says is most important to them.
* We expect mentees to begin signing up in early October.
* Once you are matched with a mentee, you will both decide how you want to connect, which can happen via email, phone, video chat, text, or in-person.

Welcome Message from our ASUCR GSOE Senator (Stephanie Zeng)
* Happy Friday Highlanders! I am excited to introduce myself as your ASUCR GSOE Senator for the 2020-2021 school year. With my position, I am working to serve you all by addressing student body issues and working to progress GSOE as well. One of the many ways I can support you all is by supporting a piece of legislation you might be interested in presenting to the senate. I have created a Google doc of weekly updates that I will be updating each week as the quarter progresses as well as information on what legislation is, how you can get started, and what steps to take after. Furthermore, a few things I've been working on over summer is actively keeping in contact with the GSOE faculty and planning a campus-wide webinar on navigating college during COVID-19. I will have all this information and further updates on my document! Please do not hesitate to reach out to me about anything! I am excited to serve you all and hope to speak with you all soon. Thank you.
