MGREP scholars (MGREPers) not only acquire world-class knowledge but have access to a lifelong impacting socio-cultural environment to complement their personal development.

MGREPers connect with diverse social groups and participate in campus-wide social events, beginning with Homecoming, concerts, festivals, movie screenings, dance performances, comedy nights, sample multicultural cuisines, mingle with fellow foreign and local students at the Anthill Pub & Grille, or enjoy the sunshine at Aldrich Park.

MGREP members keep a healthy mind and body by exercising at the Anteater Recreation Center, following UC Irvine’s Anteater sports teams, and water sports.

MGREP students also embody their social responsibility through their mindful contribution to their communities in Mexico.
