Picnic kicks off fall quarter

UC Riverside kicked off the upcoming fall quarter Thursday, Sept. 8, with the return of the Chancellor’s Staff and Faculty Picnic at Hinderaker Lawn. Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox welcomed staff and faculty members, noting that this was the first time the campus has been able to host the event, which had been held annually before the pandemic, in three years. “It’s nice to be back seeing the new faces and old faces and marking the new year the way it’s supposed to be marked,” he said.
