Calling all DV Connect 9th and 10th grade students!

The UCLA Saturday Business Institute program provides students with college and business exposure.  Many of our DV students have participated in the past and this is a great way to learn more about the college application process before Senior year as well as developing essential skills in leadership.  The UCLA Saturday Business Institute will meet 4 Saturdays during the Spring semester.  This year the program will be offered virtually only in webinar style.
