UCR Magazine, Fall 2012

Last year, 59 percent of the University of California, Riverside's incoming freshmen were the first in their family to go to college. In UCR Magazine’s Fall 2012 issue, we share the lives of these first-timers. What challenges do they face, and what is UC Riverside doing to help them through their academic journey?  We also introduce some amazing characters at UCR in this issue. You'll meet our new Vice Chancellor for Research and Development, Michael Pazzani; Costo Professor of American Indian Affairs Clifford Trafzer; and lecturer Kawai Tam, who has helped engineering students win recognition for their amazing inventions.
