our events and think critically on ways
to improve them.
UC Irvine DoT Org
• Recently established a second
chapter of DoT Org
• Worked with the campus CCM in
order to establish this chapter.

and helping them with respect to
funding applications, making
connections with community
partners, and inviting them to
events.
What we hope to see
• Working more closely with our community partners to
collaborate on events and become more effective.
• Gain a connection with the UCLA Transplant center to see how
we can work together.
• See further expansion of organizations that have a similar
mission as DoT Org to increase the number of communities we
serve.
