Dear Colleagues,

Recently, UC Provost and Executive Vice President Aimee Dorr announced the Call for Proposals for the University of California-Historically Black Colleges and Universities (UC-HBCU) Initiative for 2017-2018. I want to urge you to consider this funding opportunity. To this end, the UCI ADVANCE Program will be hosting a faculty forum for the 2017-2018 competition from 3:30 – 4:30 pm on Wednesday, February 15, 2017 in 137 HIB. Please join us and RSVP HERE.
