Rebecca Ryce
Director of Transfer Admission
Rebecca was born and raised in San Jose, CA. After high school, she attended a local community college where she earned an associate of arts (AA) degree. Even though she was the first in her family to attend college, she did not stop after earning her AA. She attended Santa Clara University (SCU) by doing a Transfer Admission Agreement (TAA). Shortly thereafter, she found her way back to the SCU as a staff member; Super Bronco*. Eventually she found herself back in the classroom and earned a master of arts (MA) degree. Her experience in higher education has given her numerous opportunities to understand and navigate the inner workings of the educational system. Given her background, she is passionate about teaching the next generation how to obtain their goals.
