From serving as a U.S. Air Force firefighter to pursuing a law degree at UC Irvine, Adrian Roybal has built his path around service, discipline and a commitment to community.
Now a third-year law student, Roybal is a recipient of the 2025–26 Bridging the Gap Military Student Scholarship, which helps cover educational costs beyond GI Bill benefits. For Roybal, a veteran and first-generation college student, the scholarship represents an investment in his future and continued commitment to serving others.

There's a blue overlay with text: “What drew me to UC Irvine is its strong pro bono program... I had the opportunity to volunteer with the Veterans Legal Institute. It’s truly an innovative program that allows you to give back.” Adrian Roybal, JD 2026.

As a UC Irvine undergrad, Naty Rico faced challenges navigating campus that nearly forced her to leave the university. A donated power scooter helped her continue her education, but the experience also inspired her to become an advocate for students with disabilities.
“I was devastated to think I had made the accomplishment of getting into UCI as a disabled first-gen student and [then had] to consider dropping out so I wouldn’t further injure myself,” she recalls.
Today, Rico has returned to UC Irvine as program director of the new Disability Cultural Center, where she’s helping build a welcoming, supportive community for students with physical or neurodivergent disabilities. Opened in February, the Center is one of three in the UC system.

Rico and Lee are using wheelchairs.

🌊 When it comes to El Niño, it's best to be prepared.
The global climate phenomenon could bring heavy surf, higher-than-usual tides and increased rainfall — raising the risk of flooding. Often-overlooked are the health considerations people should address before the next major storm, power outage or flood.
“Disaster preparedness is public health preparedness," says Bernadette Boden-Albala, founding dean of the Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health. "The things we do before a storm can determine how well we’re able to protect our health during and after it."
Image descriptions:
1. A group of people walking in a rain-soaked area, some holding umbrellas. The scene is set at UC Irvine. Text reads: "Preparing for El Niño. Extra-wet winter in California expected to rock the coastline and flood-prone inland areas."
2. Two hands are clasped together in a supportive gesture above another pair of clasped hands. The text reads: "Here's how to protect your family. Public health experts offer some tips on how to safeguard your health during and after the storms. UC Irvine."
3. A variety of pill blister packs with different colors of capsules and tablets lies on a wooden surface. Text overlay reads, "Stock medications. Refill prescriptions early in case pharmacies close or roads become difficult to navigate." The UC Irvine logo is at the bottom right corner.
4. A hand holding a flashlight with text advising to plan for power outages. Suggestions include having flashlights, power banks, chargers, coolers, and ice packs ready, particularly for medications or equipment requiring power or refrigeration. UC Irvine is mentioned.
5. Flooded road with a "Road Closed" sign and traffic cones. Text advises avoiding flooded areas. UC Irvine is mentioned at the bottom.
