While the COVID-19 pandemic is creating challenges like the world has never seen, UCR is creating innovative solutions to meet those challenges. We're taking decisive action to safeguard the safety and success of our campus community and to ensure that incoming UCR Highlanders get the high-quality UC education and first-year experience they so richly deserve.

  • 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!

We invite you to be a part of the UCR student experience by sharing the resources in this newsletter with your students. Should you have questions, concerns, or ideas, please send them our way. We value your input and partnership!
