To our graduates of the class of 2022 - and a huge shout-out to our soc sci bachelor's recipients who make up more than a quarter of UCI's total undergrad degree recipients: Let me be the first to welcome you to the Social Sciences Alumni Network! Your connection to UC Irvine doesn’t end when you graduate. In fact, it’s just the beginning. As a UCI social sciences alumnus, you belong to a growing Alumni Network over 58,000 Anteaters strong who continue to make remarkable contributions around the world.
As a member of this elite network, I hope you’ll keep in touch and continue pursuing a path that makes the world a better place. Be bold, always break the mold, and be boundaryless in your pursuit.
Congratulations, social sciences graduates of the class of 2022 - zot, zot, zot!
Bill Maurer, Dean

| We are not your standard school. Like Peter, our beloved Anteater mascot, we're quirky and different. We're on a mission to create positive change in society, economies and human well-being by breaking down traditional barriers and pushing the limits in teaching, research and service. Doing so requires a different attitude, aim and set of actions.
