Office of the Chancellor
Chancellor Timothy P. White has wasted no time in making his mark on the UCR campus and the community since the Regents of the University of California appointed him in May 2008. He has launched an ambitious 10-year strategic plan to take the campus to new levels of nationally recognized excellence.
White’s academic background in physiology, kinesiology and human biodynamics have brought him recognition for his work in muscle plasticity, injury and aging.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, he immigrated to Northern California. White is a first-generation college student who has matriculated within every college system in California. Beginning at Diablo Valley Community College, he earned a bachelor’s from Fresno State University and a master's from Cal State Hayward, finally earning a Ph.D. at UC Berkeley.
Chancellor’s Friday Letter
January 20, 2012
Dear Friends,
For me this has been a week full of great sadness and worry, great pride, and deep disappointment over opportunity lost. No wonder this Letter is late today… I admit to being a bit spent!
At the beginning of the week, we learned that two graduating seniors were gravely injured in a car accident a few miles from campus. Chris Lee and Regan Moore have been heavily committed to UCR and fully engaged in their academic and living communities. We are all pulling for them to survive.
