Academic Scholars

Academic Scholars

Academic Scholars do the following:

  • Meet with students in a one on one setting through "effective planning sessions" to assist scholars with time management. 
  • Provide a quiet environment for scholars to study. Besides, to providing a college or study tip of the week and sharing resources, they collaborate with various campus departments that support academic performance.
  • Plan monthly large scale socials for Fiat Lux participants to foster connections, community, and relationships. 
  • Through formal and informal experiences, Academic Scholars assist in building an on-campus community that recognizes and embraces the identities, values, and beliefs of all students.
  • Promote resources and opportunities for active participation to enhance student development.

Hello! My name is Martin Arredondo and I am a second-year working as an Academic Scholar for this school year. I am majoring in Political Science with a possible minor in Critical Race. I am from Sylmar CA, residing in the heart of the San Fernando Valley. For fun, I enjoy playing basketball, video games, and guitar. I love music and some of my favorite artists are J. Cole, Ariel Camacho, & Virlan Garcia. I am a very friendly person and I am always willing to help those in need.

Emily Ruiz

 

Hello! My name is Emily Ruiz and I am a second-year here at UC Merced. I am currently undeclared as I am still exploring my major options. I am from Madera CA, which is a short drive away from Merced. I come from a family of farmers surrounded by grape fields and almond trees. Due to this, Merced is like a home away from home in many different ways. Some fun facts about me are that I am left-handed and love to play video games.
