UBelong was a great experience that helped introduce me to all the different pathways in SCI. It really helped me decide and confirm my intended major of Computer Science. I also met some amazing friends through the program who I’m still close with today!"

The UBelong program was the perfect way to kick off my college experience. It allowed me to feel comfortable in my new environment, with the staff, and with other students. I met one of my closest friends there! UBelong made me aware of resources and opportunities that felt essential, but other incoming freshman did not know about. Not only did it help me to make sense of the newness of college, but it gave me confidence and direction in pursuing my future."

Before transferring to SCI, I was really excited about the number of opportunities but was also pretty nervous. I found out about SCI's UBelong program and thought it would be a great chance to get used to the school and meet others. I really enjoyed it! I made some genuine friends I still hang out with, and I believe it gave me the courage to get involved on campus. Since then, I've made more friends, served on the e-board for clubs (and continue to do so), took on-campus jobs, won two hackathons, and even secured an internship."
