The beginning of a new year causes us to reflect on where we have been, where we want to go and how we might get there. We make resolutions and plans. We recommit ourselves to reaching for and achieving our dreams. We think about opening new doors, and consider the opportunities and challenges that lay behind them. We imagine a future where we bask in the power of reaching our goals and realizing our potential.

This past year brought us face-to-face with new realities. As we accepted that some things would never be the same again, in some cases we discovered new and better ways of doing what we do. In that spirit, and in response to many students who have expressed a desire to know in advance what will be offered in future sessions, we now offer a combined Winter/Spring catalog that lists our classes from January through June.

Whether you are determined to explore a special interest, prepare for a new career, earn a certificate or credential, or sharpen your skills, you can turn those resolutions into reality at UCR Extension. Our doors are open to everyone who wants to explore, learn, grow, embrace, and invent their future. I encourage you to explore our website to discover the power of new beginnings.
