Chancellor Cynthia Larive<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As the 11th chancellor of UC Santa Cruz, Cynthia Larive leads an institution known worldwide for its interdisciplinary approach to research for the public good, for seeking solutions and giving voice to the challenges of our time, and for its commitment to social and environmental justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A common thread throughout Larive\u2019s career has been her commitment to student success, inclusion, and equity. Upon her arrival at UC Santa Cruz in 2019, Larive set out to achieve many goals for the campus, chief among them improving graduation rates and eliminating graduation gaps for low-income and first-generation students, and for students from groups traditionally underrepresented in higher education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

An accomplished bioanalytical chemist, Larive is also focused on research, innovation, and developing the next generation of entrepreneurs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
