Principles of Communication

As members of the University of California, Riverside community and the Undergraduate Education team, we are committed to improving the effectiveness of our verbal, non-verbal, and written communication with our colleagues and partners by continually practicing:

  • Respect for the integrity and professionalism of one another;
  • Active listening to understand the needs and concerns of one another;
  • Constructive feedback, received and offered charitably to create a safe and welcoming atmosphere for all;
  • Transparency in delivering specific information in an open and timely fashion; and
