The OAI office hosts a number of social events throughout the school year to build community amongst all UCI engineering students. All our events will be announced on the News & Events page and on our social media.

Coffee Hours with Professors
A quarterly signature event focused on building informal, meaningful connections between students and faculty. This relaxed and welcoming space invites students to connect with professors outside the classroom while enjoying coffee and pastries.
Professional Development Workshops
Each quarter, we host professional development sessions to support students as they prepare for life after graduation. Topics range from Grad School 101 to industry panels and career-focused workshops.
De-Stress events
Each quarter, our office provides students with the opportunity to de-stress during mid-terms and finals season. Our mindfulness/wellness breaks and finals socials include a variety of activities centered around wellness and focusing on the present moment. Activities are typically an extension of our Wellness Room, and include origami, lego sets, board games, themed crafts, and more.
Holiday events
Each quarter, we host themed events that celebrate community and togetherness. From holidays and Valentine’s Day to Halloween and spring celebrations, these gatherings embrace the spirit of coming together and building community through shared moments.
Soccer with the Dean
One of our signature traditions that brings together the UCI Engineering community for a fun, relaxed, soccer-themed celebration. This casual gathering creates a space for connection, community, and joy—no soccer experience required.
