Eighth grade AVID students embarked on an inspiring trip to the University of California, Riverside (UCR) campus, marking the kickoff of their college tours experiences as they prepare to transition to high school.

The day was filled with excitement and exploration as students toured the picturesque campus, learning about the diverse academic programs and vibrant student life that UCR has to offer.

Engaging presentations from current students and faculty provided invaluable insights into the college experience, emphasizing the importance of higher education and setting goals for the future.
