UCR Foundation Reaches $50 Million Goal
The University of California, Riverside Foundation
completed its first significant capital campaign early and exceeded the
$50 million goal, university officials announced. “The community and
alumni stepped up to help us mark the special occasion of the 50th
anniversary of the arrival our first UC class of students,” said
Chancellor France A. Córdova.
The fundraising effort netted $50.9 million from
10,190 donors, nearly half of them first-time givers to the campus,
according to Vice Chancellor for Advancement William G. Boldt. The
campaign, dubbed "Evolutions: The 50th Anniversary
Campaign", originally was scheduled to end Dec. 30, but
officially closed eight months early on April 30, he said. The money
will be used for scholarships, fellowships, programs, chairs and
campus-wide initiatives.

Parent of the Year Award
|
|
Vanthy Ly
accepts the Parent of the Year award
with her daughter Sereyvan Chea and Chancellor France A. Córdova.
An excerpt of the winning essay,
written by Sereyvan:
When someone asks
me, “Who is your hero?” an image of my beautiful mother appears in
my mind. She is the perfect candidate for Parent of the Year because
despite her devastating struggle during the horrendous Cambodian
Holocaust, she has managed to inspire and motivate the lives of her
children and many homeless and parentless children. My mother possesses
three valuable characteristics: courage, dedication, and kindness. These
traits enable her to touch many children’s hearts and minds.
