CNAS Scholars

Hello Highlanders, welcome back to the blog! We hope that everyone's Fall Quarter has been going well so far. Today we will be going over the CNAS Scholars program, the student success program for the College of Natural and Agricultural Sciences here at UCR. The program is comprised of faculty, professional staff, and undergraduate student staff who are all committed to the retention, graduation, and lifelong success of students. They have mentorship programs for first-year students and transfers and also host workshops open to all students. 

One group of undergraduate students within the CNAS Scholars programs are the Peer Advisors. Part of their responsibilities include holding weekly drop-in hours where students can have their general questions answered. The Zoom ID for these hours is 963 1532 4033, and this is the link.

Additionally, academic advisors are also currently holding their drop-in hours over Zoom for more specific questions. The drop-in hours can be accessed through this link. For drop-ins, you are only able to register 10-15 minutes before the appointment time slot begins. For further instructions, please refer to this video.

For those of you in a First Year Learning Community with any questions or concerns regarding the LC, you are able to attend drop-in hours with the LC Coordinator. It would be the same process as meeting with your academic advisor for drop-in hours, but select "Maura Caceres" as the academic advisor you plan to meet with. Additionally, for any questions, you can email cnasscholars@ucr.edu. 

We hope you were all able to gain some information from this week's blog post! We will see you all for the next one!
