Stress Management
* Mediate for 2-5 minutes a day to reduce your stress levels. Start out noticing your breathing. Take deep breaths and slowly exhale. Think of positive images as you breath and relax. Practicing Yoga also greatly reduces stress.

The UCR & Cal Poly Fall Tour was a complete success! We had over
thirty five TRiO/SSS participants. On this tour we had student led
campus tours, student panel & discussion, presentation on  student support services, presentation on admission to the universities, financial aid information and we had a great lunch at Cal Poly P. as
well as a delightful dinner at the Old  Spaghetti Factory in San Marcos. TRiO/SSS participant Oliva Jones states “It was a lot of fun! This
campus tour gave me useful insight into universities and it helped
me narrow down the school choices for transferring.” If you
missed out, do not worry we will have another campus tour next semester. Keep checking our office reminders for updates!!!!
