<br>
<span style="font-size:15px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">The University of California, Riverside (UCR) is pleased to announce the establishment of the <strong>Hu Family and Friends Endowed Experiential Learning Fund</strong>.<br>
<br>
<strong>Chancellor S. Jack Hu and his wife, Jun Du, created the fund to enhance access to experiential learning opportunities for UCR's undergraduate students</strong>. Its purpose is to provide financial support across all UCR colleges and schools for undergraduates who participate in high-impact learning experiences. These opportunities include, but are not limited to:<br>
<br>
Undergraduate research;<br>
Study abroad programs;<br>
Service-learning projects; and<br>
Unpaid internship programs.<br>
<br>
”UC Riverside’s distinction is reflected in its dual commitment to academic excellence and access. Through this fund, my wife, Jun, and I hope to help more undergraduates connect their academic pursuits with real-world experiences that enrich their careers and lives,” Chancellor Hu said.<br>
<br>
Louie F. Rodriguez, vice provost and dean of undergraduate education, will be responsible for administering the fund to maximize its impact on UCR students.<br>
<br>
“This gift helps advance the Divisional and campus-wide strategic goals of boosting high-impact practices and improving undergraduate student success for all UCR students, and we are excited about its impact,” Vice Provost Rodriguez said.<br>
<br>
The Hu Family and Friends Endowed Experiential Learning Fund represents a lasting commitment by Chancellor Hu and his family to student success and academic excellence at UC Riverside.</span></span>

This year, our UCDC cohort faces an unexpected challenge: a federal government shutdown. Many students, despite securing placements in government and non-profit sectors, have seen their internships suspended, reduced, or made unpaid, particularly on Capitol Hill and in federal agencies. This has caused significant stress and financial uncertainty. We estimate that 40 to 50 UC students have been affected.</span></span></p>

Students have been asked to participate in structured enrichment, including coursework, networking, exploring D.C.'s cultural sites, and special events with notable guest speakers, such as John Lawrence, a longtime UCDC instructor and former Chief of Staff to Nancy Pelosi.</span></span></p>
