“…We pride ourselves on …diversity, and we are each, and all, richer for it.”

Timothy P. White, PhDCHANCELLOR

What is diversity?

Why have a diversity or unity fair?

Chancellor’s Unity Fair

The UCR Diversity Educators Network defines diversity as all the ways in which people differ, including innate and acquired characteristics.

In addition, the DEN connotes diversity as inclusive excellence for the success of a superior research and teaching institution such as UCR.

Chancellor’s Unity Fair

Such fair is an opportunity to springboard our talents and skill sets that draw from age, race, income, religion, etc.

Chancellor’s Unity Fair

UC Riverside is a mid-sized institution with a growing variety of cultures, ethics, beliefs, etc., so we no longer live, learn, and work in a small, insular setting.
