Bryce Trevino
Community College: Cerritos College
Major: Political Science
Year: 2nd-Year Transfer
Pronouns: he/him/his
Born and raised in Southern California, I proudly attended and transferred from Cerritos College with my associate degree in Political Science. During my time there, I served as the Chief Justice of the Associated Student Government. Additionally, as president of the Speech and Debate team, I competed in numerous speech and debate events on the local, state and national levels.
At UCLA, I spent my first year here working with the Transfer Student Center. Currently, I am the Director of Advocacy for the Bruin Policy Institute and the Transfer Liaison for the Undergraduate Students Association (USAC) External Vice President Access and Retention team. In my free time, I love hanging out with my friends, going on road trips and spontaneously buying concert tickets.
As a STOMP Coordinator, my goal is to center the spaces I’m in around uplifting transfer voices and empowering communities. As a proud transfer student, I aim to balance continued efforts to foster a community for transfers here at UCLA with STOMP while also helping community college students pursue their academic dreams, hopefully, here at UCLA. I hope that STOMP can be a space for anyone seeking a place of inclusivity and open arms.
Hyein Kang
Community College: Irvine Valley College
Major: Education and Social Transformation
Year: 1st-Year Transfer
Pronouns: she/her/hers
I'm Hyein Kang, a first-year transfer student from Irvine Valley College majoring in Education and Social Transformation. Before community college, I attended CSU Long Beach. I consider Orange County, Kansas, and Korea my homes.
My passion lies in helping students achieve their best and fostering an inclusive environment. I've gained valuable experience as an instructional assistant in public elementary schools and the private sector. Currently, I'm involved in a project at Seeds of Empowerment, working to provide educational opportunities to underserved communities.
As a STOMP Coordinator, I'm excited to build a welcoming community and make resources more accessible for current and prospective transfer students. Let's work together to reach our full potential!
