UHP Peer Mentor: Daniel Polk

Greetings! My name's Daniel Polk and I'm enjoying my second year as a Peer Mentor (for Sophomore Honors) and my third year as an undergrad at UCR. I'm a native of Southern California, coming from the small desert town of Morongo Valley. Currently my academic interests are focused on Latin American studies, as I'm a history major with a minor in Spanish. After graduating from UCR, I plan on attending graduate school to further learn about contemporary Latin American development and politics. When I'm not studying, I take advantage of the many extra-curricular opportunities available on campus. I'm a member of the Dancesport Team of UCR, as well as VEG-U, MAPA and Sustainable UCR.

Looking for Community Service?

For community service, Corazon de Vida is a great opportunity to be active to our international community. Groups of volunteers take one Saturday out of the month to visit an orphanage in Tijuana. It's fun, interesting and a great way to make a difference in a few children's lives. Find out more at www.corazondevida.org!
