When I think of SOAR, I immediately think the word, "safe space". The SOAR center provides plenty of resources, but with such a large campus, I truly believe it is difficult to foster a particular safe space. However, SOAR easily fosters a safe space for students to cultivate their leadership skills, to feel connected with the campus, and to build different types of relationships. Fortunately, SOAR is now a permanent space. However, SOAR needs to expand because as more students find it as a resource, they need more space to ... read more

The Soar Center is one of the greatest places on campus because it provides many resources such as computers, study room, and food. I met so many people in the Soar Center and I never felt so welcome. I am really glad as UCI students we still have this center on our campus! I can wait to spend my last two years at the soar center and still meeting new people and bond together. Thank you Soar for making it my home too ! ZOT ZOT ZOT !

When I first came to UCI, I really felt like an odd ball because I didn't fit in very well with my hall mates nor my peers.

Business response:

Hei....di! (Ba-Dum-Tss) You are always welcome at the SOAR Center. Thank you for your contributions and your presence. See you around!

The SOAR center is definitely a big part of my undergraduate experience and I would have to define it as one of the resources that has shaped what I am passionate about today. The issues that they address, on-campus and off, has strengthened my value system through their workshops and their affiliate organizations. The atmosphere in the center is open and welcoming, which isn't surprising because of the center's layout. I highly recommend finding a home in SOAR by reaching out for the resources you need and the help that you... read more
