UCI recognized as top green university in U.S.

UCI has once again been named the nation’s No. 1 “Coolest School” by Sierra, the official magazine of the Sierra Club. This marks the third time UCI has earned the highest spot in the rankings – we’re the only college or university ever to accomplish this – and the ninth consecutive year UCI has been in the top 10 (also a record).

June Monthly Message

Competitive, organized esports is one of the fastest-growing activities on American college campuses. UCI started its varsity esports team two and a half years ago — making us a pioneer in this fast-paced and challenging pastime — and earlier this month, our UCI team won the 2018 League of Legends College Championship, upsetting Columbia College in the final, which was watched online by tens of thousands of people around the world.
