A Message from the President
Welcome to UCI Town and Gown!!! Who are we and What do we do?
For over 50 years, we have been supporting students and programs at the world-renowned University of California, Irvine. Our members have generously donated over one million dollars for scholarships and programs.
Three times a year we host informative luncheons with lectures given by UCI professors. Each September we host a complimentary Coffee and Conversation Event at Sherman Library and Gardens for our members and their guests. We hear from our student scholarship recipients, tour the beautiful gardens and get information about our many Interest Groups. We have a wide range of Interest Groups for our members to enjoy; everything from Bridge to Happy Hour in Historic Places.
Each year our goal is to offer five $5,000 scholarships and provide $1000 to the UCI Music Department . Our scholarships are for students who have been admitted to UCI, who have had a five year or more break in their education, who have overcome a personal challenge, and have a plan for how they will use their education to give back to their community. In May, our scholarship selection board carefully reviews the applications, reads the personal statements, and conducts interviews to select the students for our scholarships.
Membership and participation in UCI Town and Gown makes our scholarships possible. It is an honor to serve as president. I am a raving fan of UCI Town and Gown. I hope you will become one too.
Cathey Ryder, President
