Director of Student Educational Programming and Outreach University of California, Irvine (UCI)
The assistance that the Connect-OC project provided was above and beyond. Their team was central to us having a successful event at the UCI campus. They singled handedly connected all of the community agencies that we had in attendance and used their connections from previous events to bring some amazing agencies to our campus. Having their wisdom from previous experiences (successes and fails) was also helpful in our planning process.
This is event was very impactful. We got amazing reviews on evaluations from the students in attendance and their appreciation for well-rounded agencies and services. Our Assistant Vice Chancellor was in “aww” of the event and highly suggested we host it again 😊 [Students liked and/or learned] diversity of resources that are available to them or others. Realizing help is available around a lot of presenting concerns, population needs, etc. Crystal and her team were amazing. I look forward to this continued partnership and collaboration.
