Student Affairs Home
Hello, and Welcome Highlanders to UC Riverside!
My name is Brian Haynes, vice chancellor for student affairs. It is my privilege to welcome you all to our university. I hope each of you will discover the extraordinary beauty of our campus and its profound resources designed to help you excel in the academic journey.
This is your time to explore, collaborate, and unite with your peers, faculty, and staff. Don’t let anything or anyone hold you back. You are taking the next step in your academic career and it is one that you should be very proud of. Each of you have the ability to transform the world for the better, and make a positive difference in the communities you serve as global change agents.
While the campus operates remotely, UCR’s Student Affairs is available to serve students through our virtual offices. We will continue to provide the resources needed to maintain a successful academic journey and the guidance to flourish both in-and-out of the classroom.
Please take a moment to review the following student services that are available to you virtually during this time. Many of our offices are available through online appointments and can be accessed via email, Zoom, or through social media.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out at vcsa@ucr.edu. I’d be happy to connect with you.
Take care and stay safe.
Best Regards,
Brian L. Haynes, Ph.D.
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
