The most recent ASUCI donations this spring funded a DJI Osmo Camera, Celestron telescope, Bluetooth headphones, Apple Pro Pencils, and power banks, all of which are now available for checkout with your UC Irvine ID card!

This year, you can support UC Irvine student success by increasing access to essential tools through our Loanable Technology Program.

Our program is incredibly popular, with more than 12,000 checkouts last year alone. But supplies are still limited, equipment ages rapidly, and demand increases every year.

Together, we can power student success — one device at a time. 💻🔌
