UC Merced Chancellor Juan Sánchez Muñoz
Join LaSA for a conversation with UC Merced Chancellor Juan Sánchez Muñoz, Ph.D. Chancellor Muñoz will discuss his leadership trajectory as the fourth chancellor at UC Merced.
Dr. Muñoz assumed his role as UC Merced’s fourth chancellor on July 1, 2020, coming to UC from the University of Houston-Downtown, where he had served as president since 2017. Muñoz’s move to UC is a return to his California upbringing and academic roots. During his first year as chancellor, he set the university’s course for the next decade with an ambitious strategic plan that focuses on growth, impact and equity and justice.
Chancellor Muñoz has deep roots in the UC system and the Central Valley region. A California native whose parents immigrated from Mexico and whose father worked in the fields of the San Joaquin Valley, he earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from UC Santa Barbara. He also holds a master’s degree in Mexican American studies from California State University, Los Angeles, and a doctorate in education from UCLA, where he studied curriculum and instruction. His research interests include educational access, racial and ethnic equity, and the elimination of institutional structures that prevent the success of all students across the diverse landscape of public education.
