UC Irvine Organizations
UCI Center for the Study of Democracy sponsors research and education aimed at improving the democratic process in the United States and expanding democracy around the world. We believe that the democratic process is one of America's most precious natural resources. Democracy makes many of the remarkable achievements in American society and economy possible; the global spread of democracy can similarly contribute to personal freedom, individual well-being and increased international cooperation.
UCI Center for Unconventional Security Affairs addresses the security challenges of the 21st century through
innovative research and education programs that integrate experts from
the public and private sectors.
UCI Cross Cultural Center seeks to provide a network of support services promoting the personal, social, cultural, and academic wellbeing of UCI's ethnic and culturally diverse student body. Toward this end, the Cross-Cultural Center offers a wide array of educational programs that advance learning and discovery about UCI's various multicultural communities. The Cross-Cultural Center supports the campus' academic mission by promoting an environment that encourages intellectual exchange, civility, and the responsible exercise of individual expression.
