Join us as we examine the academic themes of Living the Promise: The Campaign for UC Riverside, and how UCR is impacting our community, our nation, and our world, and how you are part of it all.

Living the Promise Symposia are a yearlong series that will reflect on the key themes of UCR’s comprehensive fundraising campaign.

All symposia are free to attend for UCR students, staff, faculty, and alumni, as well as community members, friends, and supporters of the university.

Upcoming events include:

Discover the Emerging Technologies and innovations at UCR that enrich the ways we experience and interact with our world. RSVP online.

From Genomics to Harvest: Explore the vast contributions UCR is making to the basic science, cultivation, and production of plants and food. RSVP online.

Examine the concept of Renewable Nature and learn how UCR’s environmental, energy, and sustainable development research solutions are creating a healthier planet. RSVP online.

Watch, look, and see the New Voices and Visions of UCR as we showcase the various expressions and celebrations of our humanity through visual and performing arts, and nurture voices from across the rich tapestry of society. RSVP online.

The Symposia Launch took place in October 2016, where special guest U.S. Under Secretary of Education Ted Mitchell discussed improving access, increasing affordability, enhancing quality, and accelerating college completion, and how UCR is leveraging these priorities to become a university of the 21st century: A Place Where All Succeed.

The second symposium was held in November 2016, and that event focused on the topic of Social Innovation & Empowerment.
