UC Riverside's College of Natural & Agricultural Sciences invites alumni, students, faculty, staff, prospective students and families, and the community to celebrate UCR Homecoming with a day of science, connection and discovery.
From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., the CNAS Homecoming program will feature Dean Peter Atkinson sharing the evolution of science at UCR and the broader impact of the college’s research, education and engagement, followed by a CNAS student panel and alumni panel highlighting their experiences from different perspectives. Lunch will be served, with opportunities to connect and network with members of the CNAS community throughout the program.
From 1 to 4 p.m., guests can experience science in action through demonstrations presented by the UCR Department of Physics and Astronomy. CNAS Science Ambassadors will also lead tours of the sciences, giving visitors an opportunity to explore the people, programs and places that make up UCR’s science community.
