UCI in the News
“Because of this comprehensive breadth, a high Sierra ranking is simply not possible without engagement of the entire faculty, student body and campus leadership. UCI’s legacy of Sierra honors can be claimed by all Anteaters developing research, teaching or seeking solutions across every facet of climate impacts.” — Wendell Brase, associate chancellor for sustainability at UCI
“Let’s admit this now: We are not going to have a perfect election in November. There will be reports of ballots sent to voters that end up in the trash or in a ditch,” he wrote. “This doesn’t mean we won’t have a fair election overall, and we should not allow cynical political operatives to parlay small-bore errors into a full-scale attack on the integrity of the November vote.” — Rick Hasen, UCI Law professor and election law expert
“They’ll make sure you got your test done and then they’ll say okay Jessica go here you’re on the third floor your mom and dad can help you you’ve got half an hour,” — Albert Chang, medical director of UCI’s student health center.
