School Overview
As a proud member of the world’s most prestigious public university system, UC Riverside both embodies and empowers the California Dream. Right here in Inland Southern California, on our nearly 1,200-acre campus, tomorrow’s leaders come together today, finding new ways of thinking, doing, and achieving to make a difference in an increasingly multicultural and interconnected global society.
At UCR, belonging, motivation, and sustainable progress for students, the region, and the world is real — and really important. We’re among the top 1.3% of universities worldwide, according to the Center for World University Rankings, and continue to be named the nation’s leader among public universities for social mobility by U.S. News.
Off campus, our more than 26,000 students and 1,100 faculty — among them two Nobel Prize winners and 15 members of the National Academies of Science and Medicine — have access to our region’s diverse geography, from the desert to the coast, as well as Riverside’s vibrant cultural and recreational activities. On campus, all are empowered to accelerate their bold ideas. Because our mission is clear: to launch a new generation of innovative thinkers.
Root your education right here in Inland Southern California, and watch your ideas impact the world. As a Highlander, you’ll join a community where diversity equals vitality. Where support and empowerment lift spirits and propel ideas forward. And where getting an education means more than attending class. Here, you won’t just answer problems. You’ll be part of global solutions.

School History
Staff members at UC Riverside take pride in working for an institution that continually creates meaningful experiences for all Highlanders — and is rising in the ranks of national prominence. UCR was ranked the fastest rising university in America by U.S. News in 2019 and in the Top 30 of institutions dedicated to the public good by Washington Monthly in 2018.
We want to create something better — on our campus and beyond — and our inspiring and dedicated staff helps us do just that. Without a doubt, the work we do daily to create transformative change on local, national, and global scales could not be done without them.
And just as our staff helps to build better tomorrows by supporting UCR’s mission of research, teaching, and public service, we empower them and encourage their success through our unwavering support, resources, and mentorship — and outstanding benefits. That includes being on a campus situated in an ideal locale for work-life balance: In addition to all the vibrant city of Riverside has to offer, it’s also just a short drive from exquisite mountains, desert, and the beach.
