Advice from Ivan

One conversation has the potential to change your life. Reach out to current students and your admission counselor! We would love to get to meet you and learn about your personal journey. Growth starts when you step out of your comfort zone!

Favorite spot on campus

Keck Center Stadium Seating! It is my favorite place to relax, do some work, and catch a sports game. It is also a great way to get fresh air and see the beautiful OC sunsets.

Best admission memory

My favorite admission memories come from Preview Day, when we welcome all our admitted students to campus! I will forever cherish the relationships I have made with families and students during this exciting time, and the biggest shoutout goes to our tour guides and student office staff who make it all possible!
