Alumni

UPPP alumni represent a diverse group of professionals, holding positions in both the private and public sector and bridging the gap between practice and academics. MURP alumni have built a strong reputation among employers throughout Southern California and beyond in transportation, housing, community development, environmental planning, land-use planning and other areas of specialization. Our doctoral students pursue careers in academia, business, government, and research institutions. UPPP graduate students have taken tenure-track jobs at highly-regarded research universities and have interned for organizations that include the World Bank, the Orange County Business Council, the Public Policy Institute of California, and the University of California UC-DC program in Washington, D.C.

Connections

UCI's Alumni Association launched The Anteater Network in 2019, providing a new option to engage, connect, and expand professional networks. Find out more.
 
The School of Social Ecology offers a number of opportunities for its alumni to engage in campus and schoolwide activities. Learn more at their Alumni page
 
UCI's Division of Career Pathways (formerly UCI Career Center) offers a variety of services for students and alumni, including recruiting, networking and job search options.
