From the Office of the President
Happy Fall new and returning Highlanders!

Welcome back to school! I'm hoping you all have a wonderful start to the year and are enjoying all the Welcome Week events occurring on campus for the next few weeks :) As always, here are a few opportunities for you.

Extended Deadlines:
🌟 Alumni Relations Committee<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXbxfRj_ZSp52F8Ilvxyq53YnHxp-bsHeEED2cgEqtnr8Iiw/viewform>: The Alumni Relations Committee is looking for driven leaders who are looking to create and organize engagement opportunities and programming with the goal of connecting UCR alumni with students. By connecting with alumni we hope to foster opportunities for students to delve deeper into career exploration and gain a unique perspective from alumni who lead successful careers and were once students at UCR just like you currently are.

Enlight Education is excited to announce the launch of a new after-school program for local middle schools, commencing Fall 2024. We are currently seeking enthusiastic volunteers to assist in teaching engaging lesson plans across four key subject areas: Biotechnology, Computer Science, Engineering, and Science. Volunteers will also play a pivotal role in facilitating these programs, which will take place biweekly and run for 2-3 hours after school. This is a wonderful opportunity to contribute to the educational growth of our community's youth and gain valuable teaching experience.

From the Office of the Vice President of Finance
Hey Highlanders!
Please view the following updates from the ASUCR Office of Finance :)
ASUCR Funding Guidelines
In order to stay in the loop with ASUCR's latest Funding Guidelines, we HIGHLY ENCOURAGE you all to follow our Instagram Page @asucrfinance (https://www.instagram.com/asucrfinance/). On our page you will be able to find guides for purchases and reimbursements for student organizations. 🌟

Finance Hearings
For Fall 2024, our weekly Finance Hearings for Grants & Allocation Exemptions are on Thursdays from 4:00pm - 5:00pm at the ASUCR Conference Room (HUB 202). Please view our website for further instructions on how to obtain Grants & Allocation Exemptions (https://asucr.ucr.edu/budget/org-funding). 📈

Campus Finance Committee (Admin)
As the Vice President of Finance for ASUCR, I, Cooper Kumar, sit in as the ASUCR Representative at UCR's Campus Finance Committee meetings. At these meetings led by the Provost and Executive Vice Chancellor Elizabeth Watkins, I have an opportunity to gain insights into UCR's Campus-Wide Budgetary outlooks and contribute on behalf of the student body. Other members present at these meetings include all of the Vice Chancellors and the Deans for each respective college.
To ensure transparency and communication with the student body, I wanted to disperse the slideshow presentation that we had gone over during our first Campus Finance Committee Meeting. This information is public information, however I believe in making it easier to access for UCR students. As a result of this, you can find the presentation linked<https://drive.google.com/file/d/1H-nfV_p4FXdN8tEeV2OjHsAmM9-PeOAz/view?usp=drive_link> here.

I greatly look forward to continuing to serve you all this year, and I hope you have an awesome rest of your week!! 🎉

Best Regards,
Cooper Kumar (he/him)
Vice President of Finance | 2024 - 2025
