Kelsy is a fourth year Psychology Major, and is a member of Froot Loops family. Here are a few words she shared about herself and her RCC experience:
“I joined the American Red Cross Club at UCI because I wanted to join a wholesome club that gave me fun volunteer opportunities and helped me make new friends.
∙
I really like meeting new people in the club and bonding with them while helping a greater cause.
∙
My favorite RCC volunteering event so far is the squirrel watch event because we played a lot of throwback music and laughed to funny pictures of squirrels.
∙
A fun fact about me: I can do a head stand.”
Kirsten is a 1st-year Biological Sciences Major, and is a member of Cinnamon Toast Crunch family. Here are a few words she shared about herself and her RCC experience:
“I heard about the American Red Cross Club from my Bio Sci 2A TA and I was interested by the club’s volunteering, service goals as well as building a sense of community with the UCI community.
I enjoy the fun interactions with members while contributing to a global cause. Zoom University has made it difficult to make friends and interact with other UCI students, but volunteering provides a safe and productive space to share time with others.
My favorite event so far was the Snapshot Grumetti because I learned how to identify tons of African animals and shared my animal findings with friends!
In my spare time, I enjoy painting and playing tennis. These activities give me a creative and stress relieving outlets that keep me at my best.”
Kaitlyn is a 1st-year Biological Sciences Major, and is a member of Rice Krispies family. Here are a few words she shared about herself and her RCC experience:
“I was a part of ARC in high school! So I wanted to continue my participation onto UCI, despite the pandemic and lots of schedule conflicts.
I enjoy giving back to my community. What I admire about Red Cross is that they demonstrate selfless contribution, hosting events that give acts and services of kindness. It's gratifying to be a part of a warm community.
The seagull/bird watch: it was really chill and a relaxing event to be a part of. Also the members there were playing a lot of funny music.
One of the reasons that pushed me to be a part of ARC was seeing a man give CPR to a stranger at a festival. That was so cool, it felt like a movie, and it motivated me to get my own license (which is expiring in a few months :') ) Another fact about me is that I have a cat. ”
