UCI-OC Alliance Members
The UCI-OC Alliance is comprised of business community leaders associated with various industries and professional and community organizations. It is through these diverse and wide-ranging connections in banking and finance, biotech, policy and government, education, healthcare, the arts, business and law sectors among others that help to shape and drive our strategic focus and mission forward.
Alliance members serve as ambassadors for UC Irvine Latino/a initiatives and programs, raising awareness and expanding engagement throughout Orange County and beyond. UCI-OC Alliance Campus Liaisons and Alliance members meet on a regular basis, and UCI-OC Alliance members are encouraged to share insights about enriching the campus Latino/a priorities, programs and events. Eligibility for membership is based on both a commitment to fortifying relations between the university and the community and potential contributions to campus priorities.
The UCI-OC Alliance Campus Liaisons are university leaders who provide vital connection to the programs at UC Irvine. With their professional experience, they ensure that the alliance is effective and stays aligned with university priorities.
