Enigma at UCI is founded

  • Founded in 1986 at the University of California, Los Angeles campus, ENIGMA was a home for nerds of all fandoms, passions, and walks of life. In 2013, Head of Slytherin, Alejandro Komai brought the spirit of ENIGMA to our very own UCI campus, uniting four of the biggest nerd clubs on campus in a collaboration to throw the best Halloween bash UCI has ever seen. Throughout the year, the four clubs, under the banner of ENIGMA, hosted socials and mixers, shared resources, and collaborated to make UCI just a little bit nerdier, and better.
