Timothy White Is New Chancellor

Timothy P. White, president of the University of Idaho, has been named chancellor of UC Riverside. The appointment will take effect on or before Sept. 1.

An immigrant from Argentina who attended all three systems of California public higher education and received his Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, White has three decades of experience in public research universities. He has held faculty appointments at the University of Michigan, UC Berkeley and Oregon State University, where he served as provost and executive vice president, and as president on an interim basis, before joining the University of Idaho as president in August 2004.

White, 58, has led the renewal of the University of Idaho, placing a focus on strategic planning, diversity, improved communication, multidisciplinary research initiatives and the fostering of a student-centered culture. His academic background is in physiology, kinesiology and human biodynamics, and he is internationally recognized for his work in muscle plasticity, injury and aging.

White succeeds UCR Chancellor France A. Córdova, who stepped down last summer to become president of Purdue University.

UC Riverside Unveils New CHASS Building

UC Riverside's College of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences (CHASS) will open its Psychology Building in August, the college's second new building in less than a year. The CHASS Interdisciplinary Building, pictured above, opened in December.

“The Interdisciplinary Building houses many new programs and faculty reflecting our commitment to interdisciplinary studies,” Dean Stephen Cullenberg said. “At the same time, we want to strengthen our core fields, and psychology is one of our strongest.”

The CHASS Interdisciplinary Building houses six departments (Religious Studies, Women's Studies, Media and Cultural Studies, Ethnic Studies, Creative Writing and Theatre) and several Interdisciplinary programs (Liberal Studies, Southeast Asia Text, Ritual in Performance, Public Policy, Global Studies, Asian Studies, Latin American Studies, and Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences Interdisciplinary). The new Psychology Building will house academic and departmental offices, research laboratories and open class laboratories.
