Orange County Alumni Chapter

Welcome to the Orange County Alumni Chapter!

WHO WE ARE: Did you know that almost half of our Anteater alumni population remains in Orange County?! Our chapter is dedicated to fostering connection and community in UC Irvine's hometown. We want all Anteaters to know that there is a family waiting for them after they graduate right here in their backyard. We make sure to host a variety of engagements ranging from fireside chats to holiday parties to appeal to all Anteaters. Keep an eye out for our upcoming Beach Party!

 WHY SUPPORT CHAPTER SCHOLARSHIPS: A gift to a chapter scholarship fund will directly impact and support the students' financial needs and also mean more opportunities for our students to positively affect our local and global communities! Since 2018, the Orange County Alumni Chapter has raised over $10,000 and awarded 19 Anteaters!

Hear what our 2025 scholarship recipient, Ashna Dahiya had to say!

Quote from 2025 Orange County Alumni Chapter Scholarship Recipient, Ashna Dahiya, “No matter the size, every contribution can change the course of a student’s academic journey and encourages us to stay ambitious. Your donations allow the next generation of Anteaters to thrive amid the financial burdens of college. This generosity not only shapes our future but also motivates us to give back to others and stay a part of a powerful community that lasts years beyond graduation.”
