Chancellor

A Letter from Timothy P. White

To the faculty, staff, and students;

I am deeply honored to begin my service to you as Chancellor of the University of California, Riverside. I could not imagine a better time to join the UCR community - one that is ripe with opportunity and challenge, and one that is freighted with hope and higher aspiration.

We are coming in to our own at the University of California, Riverside. We are emerging as the campus known for cultivating an innovative and diverse community committed not only to excellence, but to enhancing opportunity and social and economic progress in the Inland Empire, California, the nation and the world.

We are devoted to fulfilling UC’s mission of service to California in unique ways that are gaining national recognition. Our students come from every conceivable background, and they offer striking testimony to how UC Riverside offered them a place to call home, a place to explore and grow, an ideal place to launch into the next chapter of their lives, and a place to come home to.

Karen joins me in looking forward to meeting you and learning more about this wonderful University. Working together with the campus and surrounding communities, we will be able to accelerate our ascent. We also extend our heartfelt thanks to Bob and Kathleen Grey, for their wonderful leadership during the transition.

In closing, I hope that you too will take a moment to browse our website and learn more about UC Riverside’s achievements, growth and ambitions. UC Riverside is and will continue to be not only the one to watch, but the one to join as a student, faculty or staff member.

Warm regards,

Tim White

Chancellor
