UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SAN DIEGO
2023 MOST INFLUENTIAL CHAPTER
Awarded to the chapter that made the greatest positive influence in its community, region, and nation. Must be nominated by other chapters to be eligible for this award.
“SASE at UC San Diego is committed to empowering our members academically and socially, providing them with opportunities to reach their full potential. Our chapter has a strong tradition of hosting successful events, and one of our most notable accomplishments was hosting the 2023 West Regional Conference (WRC). While this was a momentous task, we overcame serious logistical mishaps to ensure a successful event. During the conference, we organized professional panels and skill-building workshops on topics such as diversity, cultural awareness, personal health, and pathways to industry and higher education. Sponsoring companies were also able to connect with attendees and provide valuable opportunities and resources.
In addition to our commitment to professional development, we also prioritize creating a supportive and inclusive community for our members. Our chapter hosts a variety of social events throughout the year, providing opportunities for members to connect and form friendships. We also offer academic support, such as hosting study groups and mentorship programs, to ensure our members are successful in their academic pursuits.
We believe that the key to a successful chapter is building strong personal relationships among members. That’s why we prioritize social events in addition to professional development. By creating an inclusive and supportive community, SASE at UC San Diego is more than just a professional organization; it’s a family. We believe that this unique environment is what sets our chapter apart and has contributed to our continued growth and success.”
