A $1.5 million emergency grant is enabling UC Riverside scientists to find plants impervious to a disease threatening America’s citrus fruit supply. 

In an announcement to the UC Riverside campus, Chancellor Kim A. Wilcox announced that instruction will be delivered remotely for the first two weeks of the winter quarter. He cited the emergence of the Omicron variant and the start of the quarter taking place just after the New Year’s holiday.  The campus will remain open during this period and in-person instruction is expected to begin the week of Jan. 17.
