Dr. James H. Erickson served as UC Riverside's Vice Chancellor for Advancement from 1986 to 1999. He also served as executive director of the UC Riverside Foundation between 1985 and 1999. During Erickson's tenure, annual private sector support grew from $1.6 million to more than $27 million. Over $100 million in private support was generated with the addition of 26 endowed chairs.
The largest gift Erickson helped raise was approximately $20 million given by Riverside residents and former business partners Bart Singletary and William Austin. The funds provided endowed chairs in the humanities at UC Riverside and for the new medical school under development at the university.
