S. Jack Hu, previously at the University of Georgia, is the newly appointed chancellor of UC Riverside amid challenges for the UC system. His appointment comes after Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox's retirement. Hu's leadership experience in research and outreach to underserved students positions him well for this role. UC Riverside has seen significant growth under Wilcox, including increased enrollment and the establishment of new academic programs. As the first Asian American chancellor of the UC campus, Hu aims to maintain UC Riverside's trajectory of innovation and academic excellence.
"Over his distinguished career at leading public research institutions, Dr. Hu has championed innovation and academic initiatives that have increased opportunities for students and faculty and have positively impacted their lives and the communities they serve."
"I am honored and deeply grateful to join UC Riverside," Hu stated, expressing enthusiasm for the new leadership role.
