Our organization was built by and for students who understand what it means to overcome barriers. We provide a safe, welcoming space where you can connect with others who share similar experiences, find mentorship, and access resources that help you succeed, both in and out of the classroom.
At USI, we know the power of community. We support each other, celebrate our victories, and stand together through challenges. We also work to educate the campus about issues of incarceration, equity, and justice, and we advocate for positive change at UCI and beyond.
Become a member of USI at UCI and be part of a community where everyone is encouraged to lead and grow together. Here, we believe in lifting each other up and making space for everyone’s voice. USI is about helping you become a strong student leader, while also supporting others to do the same.
If you’re passionate about building community, respecting others, and learning how to lead alongside your peers, USI is here for you. We’re committed to mentoring you on your journey and helping you discover your own strengths, while celebrating the leadership of those around you.
Join us and experience what it means to learn, lead, and grow together. Your leadership matters, and so does the leadership of everyone in our community.
