A message of hope from UCI social sciences dean Bill Maurer as we enter the new year 

As social scientists, we believe in the transformational power of hope - in its boundaryless possibilities to boldly transform societies, economies and human well-being for the better. As we look ahead to what's next in 2024, let hope guide your actions to create positive change for a brighter tomorrow and a more brilliant future.
We hope you have a wonderful, restorative winter break and we’re looking forward to seeing you all in the new year.
