UCR Chancellor Shares Growing National Reputation and Campus Expansion

University of California, Riverside (UCR) Chancellor Kim Wilcox convened with 200 attendees at Good Morning Riverside to celebrate the significant growth happening at UCR, including national recognition in research and the new expansion to campus spaces such as housing and athletics. In the last 10 years, the campus opened the revamped eatery The Barn, Student Success Center, and the GlenMor Phase 2 project. Chancellor Wilcox provided insight on how UCR will be partnering with Riverside Community College District (RCCD) to build residence halls that will house both UCR and RCCD students with a pipeline of transferring to the University. This concept will keep students living in Riverside and promote our local economy. Save the date for Good Morning Riverside on Thursday, August 10. Thank you to our sponsor Riverside Medical Clinic.
