Essay / Student Welcome Letter: Public Policy Studies - 571
Dear Transfer StudentWelcome to the University of California, we are delighted that you are choosing to join our school. We look forward to meeting you. Your arrival on campus is fast approaching, so we wanted to take some time and share some important information about the city of Los Angeles that is the backdrop to our campus. Campus life is not limited to the institution, but is heavily immersed in the fabric and culture of the city of Los Angeles. Our goal is that this information will help you feel comfortable in your new home. We encourage you to attend New Student Orientation during your first week on campus. Orientation allows you to meet other incoming students and faculty. You will be assigned a guide who will take you and your group on a comprehensive tour of the campus. We will also be here to answer any additional questions you may have. As a declared public policy major, you have the unique opportunity to study in a thriving new “Latino metropolis” in Los Angeles. By 2050, there are expected to be more Latinos than all other minorities combined...
