Bits and Bytes Program
Bits & Bytes is a year long mentorship program helping new ICS students transition to life at UCI through organized socials! Group leaders, aka Bytes, will guide and provide a tight-knit community at UCI for incoming freshmen and transfers, aka Bits.
Bytes have the opportunity to give back by being mentors, role models, and friends to their bits. Bytes are encouraged to share their professional experiences, academic advice, and social know-how!
In a Bits & Byte Fam, there are 2 bytes with 2-6 bits each! Bytes focus on creating a great experience, Bits focus on having fun!
