2000-2001 General Catalog
University of California, Riverside
CHANCELLOR'S WELCOME
Welcome to the University of California, Riverside. Our campus cares about students -- we are known for the individual attention conveyed to all of our undergraduate and graduate students alike. We are an outstanding university, with the finest faculty and facilities for teaching and research. UC Riverside is also a place where students can have fun, where relationships are easy to develop, and possibilities abound for having a good time.
Perusing this catalog will illuminate the vast array of disciplines, curricula, and majors and minors available at UC Riverside. These represent the research and teaching interests of our distinguished faculty, working at the cutting edge of their discipline. We encourage all of our students, undergraduate and graduate, to become involved in discovery, in the creation of new knowledge. Opportunities are available for students at all levels to work with faculty in their laboratories or offices, to publish papers, and to present results at professional meetings. The commitment to involving our students in the learning process is evident in our undergraduate classes. Senior faculty teach our introductory courses. I teach freshman physics each winter quarter (PHYS 040A, General Physics, Mechanics). When you take courses from these faculty members, choose one whose interests and personality suit you, and ask if you can do research with him or her. You will find yourself welcomed into a meaningful experience which will involve you at the forefront of discovery. We offer a number of distinctive undergraduate degree programs, ranging from Creative Writing to Business Administration to Computer Engineering to Biomedical Sciences, along with the more traditional degree programs found at most other colleges and universities. We also have a strong commitment to helping students complete their degree work in a timely manner. We offer the courses that students need to take to complete their degree objectives. Students at UC Riverside have many chances to become involved and make a difference. We are proud of the nationally acclaimed University/Eastside Community Collaborative, and of our AmeriCorps Program (the only one in the University of California). Through both programs, UC Riverside students can mentor at-risk youth, giving them the positive direction they need to make improvements in their school work and lives. Our campus also has approximately 200 service clubs, student organizations, and recreational groups. Each offers our diverse student body the chance to make new friends, to have fun, and to be active while serving the campus and community. If you find yourself with questions or concerns, take advantage of our faculty, administration, and staff. We are here to work with you as colleagues, to make sure that your experience at UC Riverside is the most enjoyable of your life. If you want to contact me directly, I am always available through e-mail (rayo@admin.ucr.edu), and through my office hours and "Rappin' with the Chancellor" each quarter. At UC Riverside, we offer you the highest quality education in a supportive community of faculty and staff who care about you and your success. That is my personal pledge, and the pledge of our faculty and staff as well. UC Riverside is a wonderful place, and a beautiful campus. These pages will enable you to discover our presence at the forefront of teaching, research, public service, and collegiate life. We hope you will join us and take part in the great tradition of our campus.
