Alright, so what can I do as an incoming freshman?

Colleges & Universities University of California - Davis

<p>So I sent out a few e-mails last night to try and be proactive.</p>

<p>I was in the running for a district position in Circle K International but was unsuccessful due to lack of experience (lol), so I contacted UCD Circle K to apply as a chair for next year. Since I’m not currently a member of UCD Circle K, however, I can’t apply. Fair enough.</p>

<p>I contacted Bonner Leaders as I’ve held an interest in both the Peace Corps. and AmeriCorps. I introduced myself and asked about the program and inquired as to what I could do to be involved, as I learned about it after the deadline had passed and have a short three-year stay at UCD. The reply I recieved stated that I could apply my freshman year to participate during my third and fourth years, which is of no help to me.</p>

<p>Even the EAP department at Davis has been rather difficult to communicate with. I wrote inquiring about freshman opportunities in the program; in return, I recieved an form letter as the coordinator appears to be on vacation. The reply mentions something about not having access to their accounts on August 26th and 27th, which I assume is an auto-response they’ve been using since 2004.</p>

<p>So I’m giving up on the faculty for now and am turning to current students.</p>

<p>What opportunities, if any, exist out there for me as a freshman in Davis? TIA—I assure you anything at this point will be of more help than what I’ve received so far. :)</p>
