UC Riverside Alumni Stories

Taylor Pollard ’16 (Art)

Just one year after graduating from UCR, Taylor launched the "Flexin' In My Complexion" fashion brand in response to her sister, Kheris Rogers, being bullied for her dark skin. After going viral on social media and with endorsements from celebrities like Alicia Keys and Lupita Nyong’o, the clothing line grew into an empowerment movement and earned $100,000 in its first year. Today, Taylor and her sister continue to grow their family-run fashion business while sharing their inspirational story through speaking engagements around the country.
 

Allen Van Tran ’15 (Chemical Engineering)

Just months after graduating from UCR’s Marlan and Rosemary Bourns College of Engineering, Allen Van Tran was hired by the Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) as an Engagement Systems Engineer/Analyst. Allen uses his engineering skills and experience to further NAVSEA’s objective to engineer, build and support the US Navy’s fleet of ships and combat systems. Allen is also a first-generation college graduate and the youngest alumni in BCOE’s history to establish an endowment.
