Expanding opportunity through support, advocacy and action
On our 10 campuses — and in communities across California — UC is engaged in ensuring that our students, faculty, staff, scholars and scientists are drawn from the whole of our society. That means making connections and supporting underrepresented minorities at all levels, from kindergarten through graduate school and beyond.
Our work to strengthen diversity touches every stage of the educational process: from programs that foster early learning and help raise college-ready kids to those that cultivate future faculty and work to make academic culture and hiring more inclusive.
