Have you heard about STOMP? The Student Transfer Outreach and Mentor Program (STOMP) is a volunteer-based, transfer student organization that can help you achieve your university goals. Many of our volunteers are transfer students, so they can relate with your experience and offer valuable insights. Volunteers play leading roles in our virtual and in-person opportunities, including the annual UCLA STOMP conference.

The student-led 25th Annual STOMP Conference was held on Friday, April 19, 2024 at UCLA where we welcomed nearly 900 guests! The event was held in-person, supplemented with a virtual component consisting of prerecorded presentations for transfer students to learn more about the transfer pathway and the value of a UC education.

Watch our Instagram story today to hear about Krezzia's experience working campus jobs throughout her time at UCLA! 🐻

Welcome Bruins! My name is Krezzia (pronounced Kri-sha) and I recently graduated last quarter with a degree in Communications with a Computing Specialization. My last 4 years at UCLA were amazing and I can’t wait to share my experience with you all! During my time here, I have had three on-campus jobs ranging from UCLA Housing - Dining, Student Affairs - BruinsVote, and through Undergraduate Admission - Bruin Ambassador Program. Apart from working on campus, I was a part of many extracurricular clubs on campus while completing my degree early! UCLA and the people I worked with played an integral part in allowing me to balance everything, so I am ecstatic to tell you all about it 😀
