History
The Student Recruiotment and Retention Center (SRRC) story begins in the fall of 1998. A group of concerned students attended a UCLA conference entitled "Student-Initiated and Student-Run Programs." This inspired them to develop such a program at UCD. The students formed a committee with representatives from the ASUCD, African American, Chicano/Latino, Filipino, Native American, and Southeast Asian communities, and incorporated their plans into the Facilities and Campus Enhancement (FACE) initiative. The initiative passed and UCD students agreed to raise fees to pay for the development of the center. By February 2000, the SRRC became an official part of the university.
