History of Express to Success

Express to Success fills a gap

In early 1999, the UCSD Student Affairs Interpersonal and Speaking Skills Development Committee explored ways to improve students' communication and public speaking skills. The result: UCSD Express to Success Programs (ETS), which began operation at Revelle College that fall.

Students develop skills and confidence

ETS programs were designed to help students develop public speaking and interpersonal communication skills in their personal, academic, and professional lives.

ETS coaches students in leadership, self-confidence, team building, and other interpersonal skills needed for effective communication.

Currently, ETS serves more than 1,200 students annually through a mix of workshops, seminars, and programs.

ETS: an award-winning program

In July 2007, ETS relocated to Student Life for greater visibility and increased collaboration with other campuswide units.

ETS received the 2007 Region VI Innovative Program Award from the National Association of Student Personnel Administrators (NASPA), the premier professional association for student affairs administrators.
