    I’m so proud:

    Colleagues,

    The University of California, Riverside is very proud of its association with the homeschooled community. In fact, UCR was the very first UC to actively recruit homeschooled and other non-traditionally educated students.

    “The new homeschool admissions program seems to have attracted outstanding students, as we’d hoped. It looks like we’ve tapped into a pipeline of great students.”
    – Frank Vahid (a professor Computer Science who helped establish the program)

    Let us help you help your students achieve their educational goals with a posting on your Web site about our program. The attached copy includes an information link about this program. If you need assistance to set the link up or need more information, please contact Steve Whitestone at steve.whitestone@ucr.edu or (951) 827-5979.

    Thank you very much for your help, and we hope that you and your viewers find this information useful. I look forward to working with you.

    I’m just having some fun at my “colleague’s” expense. UCR has been one of the more progressive schools when it comes to HEKs.

    UCR is my alma mater. It was a great school then. And apparently still is. It doesn’t surprise me at all that UCR is the first UC to be so welcoming to homeschoolers. Rah Rah!
