October Monthly Message

It’s been nearly a month since Anteaters have returned to campus, and UCI has sprung to life with new energy and excitement. Back-to-school is one of my favorite seasons as chancellor of an elite public university, because our students are a sound reminder of why UCI continues to exist and thrive.
