We got some exciting alumni events coming up, Gauchos! 🤠

This Saturday, October 12th, join Olé OC in cheering on 🏐 at 4 PM at UC Irvine’s Bren Events Center and ⚽️ at 6 PM at UC Irvine’s Anteater Stadium 🏟️

From 4-6 PM, you can meet with fellow Gauchos for light bites, prize give away, and good company at Eureka in the University Town Center in Irvine! 🍔

Just keep in mind that due to the timing, you unfortunately won’t be able to attend both games and the meet up at Eureka. So we recommend you pick which game you prefer to see and try to stop by Eureka before the soccer game or after the volleyball game 🚨

You can purchase tickets 🎟️ to the games and RSVP for the meet up in the link in our bio 🔗

On the second slide, we’ve circle the two stadiums as well as the Mesa Parking Structure where we recommend you park for both games! 🚙

Can’t wait to see some Gaucho pride in the stands this Saturday! 🤩
