In the Community


Partnering with our neighbors to build a thriving community through education, research and service.

UC Irvine’s roots run deep in the communities we call home. From health and education to the arts, athletics and more, we are building meaningful partnerships that extend far beyond our campus borders. Through collaborative initiatives, we are not just addressing local challenges – we are creating opportunities that benefit our entire region. We invite you to explore the many ways UC Irvine is making a difference.
