#IAmUCI: Rafael Carrazco-Sanchez
Rafael Carrazco-Sanchez is a senior majoring in criminology, law & society and is the current ASUCI vice president. He is one of the student organizers behind Hunger & Homelessness Awareness Week at UCI.
I chose UCI because of the world-renowned education that I knew I would be receiving at this institution. When I first set foot on this campus, it was immediately apparent to me that UCI was a one-of-a-kind university, with how it strives to constantly push the status quo through critical thinking and engaging in enriching conversations. What I find even more admirable in this campus as I look back on my four years here is how the community collectively embraces the mission of leadership, and intertwines it into all areas of the student life. UCI continues to be the single best decision of my life, and I am proud to be a part of the Anteater family!
What are your favorite things about UCI?
My all-time favorite thing about UCI is the lively student experience here. Between its perfect location and the endless opportunities for involvement available on campus, UCI empowers students with the ability to be anything they want to be! UCI has something for everyone, and it is just a matter of exploring all that this campus has to offer.
What’s your advice for new/incoming Anteaters?
My advice to any new/incoming Anteaters would be to step out of their comfort zone and embrace all the amazing opportunities and experiences that are easily accessible to them. From athletic events, community service opportunities, attending academic lectures, and everything in between - UCI has it all, and UCI does it all well! Students, staff, and faculty all play a pivotal role in building Anteater Nation to what it is today. By going out and building relationships and connections through what interests us, we are able to enrich the community and are able to continue to make our mark on the magic that truly makes UCI special!
