Congratulations to you and your students for an outstanding year of academic achievement! Despite the challenges of a pandemic, you persevered and inspired many. We honor you and look forward to all that your students will do to ensure a bright future for us all!

In looking toward fall 2020, UCR continues to take decisive action to safeguard the safety and success of our campus community and to ensure that incoming UCR Highlanders will get the high-quality UC education and first-year experience they so richly deserve. Video: UCR's Chancellor Kim Wilcox addresses the planning process for the 2020 fall quarter.

  • Classes, whether taught online or in-person, are led by Nobel Laureates and leaders of industry who are committed to providing a meaningful university education.
  • Our Career Center is helping students get jobs and internships in a competitive job market.
  • Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS) is supporting mental health for all students.
  • UCR's staff is providing student success resources, including academic tutoring, at-home wellness activities, and free produce grown in our community garden.

And we'll keep doing more!
