Why sponsor students to attend?
The All-U Conference is a unique opportunity at UCI for undergraduate students, faculty, staff, and administrators to spend a weekend together to meet one another, network, hone their leadership skills, and discuss important issues facing the University. Carefully selected speakers and presenters address topics of concern to today’s UCI students. Here is a brief overview of the All-U conference.
You can also review the All-U website to read testimonials from past department sponsors and student participants.
You can also review the 2024 Program Evaluation Report.
