Our Vision

Send to a Friend

Initiatives

For California and the United States to succeed, we must prepare the next generation of leaders and innovators, pioneer new technologies and understand and benefit from the global economy and culture.

That's why volunteers, community leaders, parents, friends and alumni have come together to organize UC Irvine's Shaping the Future campaign. This is the largest private fundraising effort in the university's history. Over the next several years, we will raise $1 billion to address these critical issues.
