Convocation: Welcoming the Class of 2026 and new transfer students

Welcome to UCI!  Welcome to the beginning of one of the great adventures of your life! The years to come will be exciting and unforgettable in the best possible way.  It’s going to be great – great but not easy, not without its challenges.  If it were easy, anybody could do it, and we wouldn’t have to spend the time to admit the very best students.
