UC Riverside Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox has announced that he will retire in the summer of 2025 after nearly 12 years leading the university. Wilcox led UCR during a season in which it emerged as one of America's leading research universities and the national leader of the social mobility and student success movement.

The Chancellor Search Advisory Committee will host virtual town halls for faculty, staff, students, and alumni and community members to further explore the priorities of the campus community when it comes to selecting UC Riverside’s top leader. Details on how to register for the town halls for each specific group and other search information is available on the new Chancellor search website.
