Message from  
Vice Chancellor Parham
Vice Chancellor Thomas A. Parham, Ph.D.
Welcome to the start of the University of California, Irvine's 2017-2018 academic year.
 
We begin this year by acknowledging how excited we are to welcome in a new class of Anteaters. Your students are part of a record-setting cohort of young people as 104,000 of their peers applied for admission to UCI and your student earned one of those coveted spots.  
 
As a top-tier research university, students are admitted because they have already demonstrated an excellence in their academic and personal achievements, and we take pride in all that they have accomplished to this point in their lives.

On Wednesday, Sept. 27, UCI launched the FRESH Basic Needs Hub, a 2,318-square-foot space located in a trailer at the end of Mesa Court's parking lot 5. It features a pantry stocked with dried and canned goods, baskets of fresh fruits and vegetables, refrigerated items and emergency toiletries.

FRESH, which stands for Food Resources Empowering Students with Hope, is a student-initiated venture of the Student Outreach & Retention Center aimed at meeting the basic nutritional needs of Anteaters so that they can achieve their academic goals.
