Redd Alert
Hi everyone! I’m Stacy Redd, assistant to the UCLA Director of Admissions.
When I’m not reading applications and communicating with prospective students, I love to collect interesting facts about UCLA. For instance, did you know that UCLA was originally UCSB? When UCLA was created, it was the second UC campus (after UC Berkeley in northern California) and was called University of California, Southern Branch. I especially like that fact because it involves both my alma mater, UC Santa Barbara (the current UCSB), and my new home, UCLA.
On a more serious note, I want to address any students who have applied to UCLA for Fall 2007. If you have made any changes to your academic program or if your contact information has changed, please let our office know as soon as possible by emailing datachng@saonet.ucla.edu
I’ll be back periodically with more tips and UCLA trivia. Justine and our colleagues in UARS and beyond will be dispensing valuable info via this blog every week, so make sure to check it regularly.
I never knew about that UCSB stuff! Keep us updated with those interesting trivia and facts!
-Eric

Maybe they should just change Berkeley to UCNB.
