The Stacey Nicholas Office of Access and Inclusion (OAI) is a joint office between the Samueli School of Engineering and Donald Bren School of Information and Computer Sciences charged with promoting and facilitating inclusion, diversity, equity and anti-racism within the schools. OAI’s mission is to recruit, retain and graduate talented students from historically excluded populations that are currently underrepresented in engineering and computing. OAI works toward this mission by providing academic, professional and social support for students. In addition, OAI strives to create a community where students feel comfortable discussing both the challenges and successes they experience while at UCI.
