Contributors
Welcome
• Please share one of your personal experiences on the Ring Mall. Contribute to UCI’s historical records and to our understanding of ourselves and each other now. Add your story, from your point of view, to the Main Street UCI archive.
• There is also room here for contributions from UCI organizations (clubs, social groups, etc.) and for people who want to share their experiences in UCI organizations.
• Our goals are: (a) to gather contributions from the varied and diverse points of view of UCI people and organizations, and (b) to preserve them as a record of campus life now for ourselves and for anyone in the future who wants to know what’s special and what’s ordinary about life at UCI.
• See the first few blog posts now. Click the Ways To Contribute and How To Post tabs for details on how to add your contribution.

My thoughts on our generation, The Millennials
