Welcome to Black Student Success at UCR!
My name is Victor Moreira, and I’m the Coordinator for Black Student Success at UCR. Black Student Success at UCR works closely with African Student Programs (ASP) to ensure that needs, concerns, and aspirations of Black Scholars at the undergraduate and graduate level are heard and addressed. We aim to incorporate the voices of UCR’s Black Scholars in all the actions we take to ensure that we are mindful of their dynamic realities and unique experiences.
