Discover UCR's Puente Connection
UCR's Puente Connection student organization provides Puente Project participants, or “Puentistas,” with more opportunities to connect with UCR and build leadership skills. It's the first of its kind in the UC system and provides continual support to Puentistas who enroll at UCR. Puente Connection's network of admissions counselors and Puente Peer Mentors help students earn the UC degree they've always wanted! Support includes academic guidance, application assistance and help for a smooth transition to UCR. It's free, open to all students and services as a resource to help participants reach their academic and professional goals.
