ULink Student Testimonials

“The ULink Honors Cohort has been a meaningful part of my college experience, introducing me to powerful ideas and stories that encouraged me to grow. One book in our curriculum, Lead from the Outside, really resonated with me and is something I wish I had read earlier. This experience helped me build confidence in my voice and leadership.”
-Danisha Salinas, Biology, UCLA Fall 2025 Transfer

“ULink has helped me find a sense of belonging and a community where we all share the common goal of seeing each other thrive.”
-Alma Valdez, Psychology, UCI Fall 2025 Transfer

“The ULink Program has helped me make lasting connections with both students and staff. Without the help of everyone involved, I would not be in this position today. Thank you so much!”
-Johnyoel Yap, Social Work, CSULB Fall 2025 Transfer

“ULink has helped me understand the college system and the transfer process. ULink helped me in my first year of college because the cohorts built a learning community. Also, ULink counselors assisted me with my educational plan and finding a major.”
-Daniela Derramadero, Psychology and Journalism, UCLA, Fall 2024 Transfer

“The ULink program helped me from the very beginning when I started at SAC. I was guided through the program on what classes I needed to take and how it was important to start early in order to achieve my transfer goal. The ULink Counselors were very helpful in giving advice and supported us in many ways. By being in the program, I have become more knowledgeable about how to transfer. I always recommend other SAC students to join the program because it will definitely help them succeed.”
-Lauren Nieto, Nutrition, Sacramento State University Fall 2024 Transfer

“ULink has guided me through my first and second year of college. I was so scared and unsure what I wanted to do in school and which path I should take. With the guidance of ULink, the process was easy and not stressful. When I had questions, ULink answered all of them. ULink helped me through the process of transferring and prepared me for the university, kept me on track, and followed up. ULink overall cares for the students.”
-Sandra Andres, Psychology, UCI Fall 2023 Transfer

“ULink’s counseling services helped me find out exactly what I needed to do in order to successfully transfer and take the courses I needed. Before ULink, I felt like I didn’t really have a clear direction to head in, but after receiving some counseling, I started to figure out more and more about what I want to do in the future. So for that, I’m pretty grateful to say the least.”
-Jaime Alejandro Luy, Japanese Language & Literature, UCI Fall 2023 Transfer
