Local and Community Relations

UC Irvine’s Local Government and Community Relations serves as the bridge between the university and Orange County’s civic, business and nonprofit communities. The team works to bring together local leaders, industry partners and community advocates to strengthen collaboration and help shape UC Irvine’s role in the local community and economy. 

Through meaningful partnerships and ongoing dialogue, Local Government and Community Relations connects community priorities with UC Irvine’s expertise in research, education and innovation. These collaborations foster shared understanding and lead to practical solutions that address real challenges facing Orange County.

By aligning regional needs with the university’s expertise, the team helps ensure UC Irvine remain an engaged community partner, advancing education, research and public service in support of the community’s success and growth.
