Community Engagement

The University of California, Riverside (UCR) is deeply committed to guiding and supporting students from all backgrounds achieve their academic goals. We offer a variety of communities and resources to answer questions, share success resources, and personalize the UCR student experience.

 

Land Acknowledgement

We at UCR would like to respectfully acknowledge and recognize our responsibility to the original and current caretakers of this land, water, and air: the Cahuilla [ka-weeahh], Tongva [tong-va], Luiseño [loo-say-ngo], and Serrano [se-ran-oh] peoples and all of their ancestors and descendants, past, present, and future. Today this meeting place is home to many Indigenous peoples from all over the world, including UCR faculty, students, and staff, and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these homelands.
