ERC's interdisciplinary core sequence, The Making of the Modern World, provides the intellectual foundation needed to understand our world. Co-curricular activities, ranging from the Global Marketplace to alternative spring breaks, provide opportunities to explore identities, express commitments, and make a difference in the lives of others.
UC San Diego and Eleanor Roosevelt College are exciting places to live and learn. We are eager to introduce you to them. The best way to learn more is to visit . I hope you and your family will attend Triton Day on April 5, 2014.
