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
May 11, 2012
Dear Friends,
It’s not often that I use the Friday Letter to request that you take action, but this week is an exception.
I ask that you take a few minutes to contact Governor Brown and our legislative leaders on both sides of the aisle to ask that they reinvest in the University of California. The Governor’s revision of the state budget is due on Monday, May 14, so the timing could not be more critical.
And I’ll be in Sacramento again next week to follow up on your message… a one-two punch if you will… to influence political priorities.
The process is simple. Below are five phone numbers for the Governor and four legislative leaders. If you would, take a moment to pick up the phone and call Sacramento and share your story.
