Governmental Relations

 

Governmental Relations works to support and promote the University's mission of research, teaching and public service through advocacy, issue management, and functioning as a liaison with government, community and campus constituencies. It provides a vital link in fostering positive, effective relationships between campus constituencies and the University's external audiences.

 

Governmental Relations provides leadership for building effective and enduring relationships with public policy-makers, and other members of the public for the purpose of increasing and strengthening the support, visibility and prominence of UC Riverside's research, teaching and public service missions. Government Relations serves as the central resource for campus and unit-based relationships with local, regional, state and federal elected officials.

 

Community Relations

 

Community Relations services and support are intended to build and strengthen relationships with the community, build community networks to achieve strategic civic goals, cultivate partnerships with our business community, and establish dialogue with our neighbors.

 

Industry Relations

 

Industry Relations at UC Riverside acts as a liaison between the community, private businesses, and the campus. Industry Relations develops and coordinates private/public partnerships intended to expand the academic and research opportunities for UCR; enhances regional redevelopment and economic improvement opportunities for the campus and the business community; facilitates campus technology transfer and new business development; and facilitates the transfer of campus intellectual property for commercialization. Projects under the purview of Industry Relations include the University Research Park.
