Your Values, Our Mission
At UC Riverside, we believe that bold hearts and brilliant minds can change the world. As the nation’s leader in social mobility and one of only eight universities to hold both AAU and Hispanic-Serving Institution status, UCR is redefining what it means to be a great public research university. Our mission is clear: expand access to exceptional education, accelerate groundbreaking research, and transform lives—here in California’s fastest-growing region and across the globe.
Every day, our diverse and determined students work alongside world-class faculty, including two Nobel Laureates, to tackle society’s most pressing challenges: advancing sustainable agriculture, improving health outcomes, driving clean energy solutions, and fostering inclusive economic growth. With your support, we can continue to break barriers, create opportunity, and power discoveries that will benefit generations to come.
