We had a fun start to the Summer Springboard program here on the campus of UC San Diego!

Students from across the country arrived in sunny San Diego, ready to kick off two exciting weeks of learning, growth, and connection. After checking into their residence halls and meeting their roommates and mentors, students quickly began building new friendships, energized by the coastal breeze, shared goals, and the stunning UC San Diego campus nestled near the Pacific Ocean. The atmosphere is already vibrant as everyone starts settling in and embracing this new adventure.

Looking ahead, our UC San Diego students are preparing for an engaging lineup of hands-on academic courses taught by passionate instructors, inspiring excursions around the greater San Diego area, and True You sessions focused on self-discovery and future pathways.

Whether soaking up the sun during outdoor activities or collaborating in classrooms with panoramic views, this group is poised to make the most of every opportunity that comes their way. We’re excited to see all the memories and growth that the next two weeks will bring!

Week 1 at UC San Diego is finished. What a start!

Our students just wrapped an action-packed first week full of fresh ideas, new friends and real discovery. They kicked off with their first True You workshop, digging into what drives them and starting to map out their futures. Academic courses got minds buzzing, with hands-on projects that challenged them to think big and get creative.

The first excursions showed off the best of San Diego: fun, sun and plenty of inspiration. Friendships are forming fast, and the energy on campus is electric.

With Week 2 ahead, the excitement is building even more. More courses, deeper self-exploration and unforgettable experiences are coming up. The best is yet to come!

They’ve explored new ideas, challenged themselves and made friendships that will last long after they leave campus.

Throughout the program, students gained valuable insight into their college major interests and career aspirations, while reflecting on the kind of learners and future professionals they want to become. From engaging classroom discussions to real-world experiences beyond campus, this summer has been all about growth, discovery and setting the foundation for what’s next.
