STUDENT STORY Julian (he/him)

I’m involved in a lot here on campus, and I like to just poke around everywhere to find cool things to get involved in. I’m the assistant club basketball coach, I’m on the board of the Scholars Society, and I’m in other clubs like the Black Student Union.

I work at the Black Resource Center and have some mentees there. I sometimes pop into the Astronomy Club meetings. In my first year, I was also given the opportunity to do a TED Talk through TEDxUCSD. There’s really a ton of clubs on campus. You can do almost anything.
