What's the best part of being an Anteater? Ask an alum. 🎤🐜

At New Student Sweatshirt Pickup, Ashley interviewed some of the more than 100 alumni volunteers who spent their day welcoming UC Irvine's newest students. From career advice and favorite memories to what makes the Anteater community so special, their message was simple:

You've got a community behind you.

When you join UC Irvine, you join a network of more than 278,000 alumni ready to support, encourage and celebrate you along the way.

Welcome to the Anteater family. 💙💛

Fifty years ago, UC Irvine’s Sierra Program brought five freshmen together. That chance meeting became a lifelong friendship.

For 1980 grads Les McCabe, Jill Halvaks, Lori Miller-Bath, Dave Mayo and the late Teresa Martinez, the living-learning community broadened their perspectives and created a bond that would endure for decades.

Read their story of a friendship that began on campus.
