University of California, Riverside Bell Tower

In the recent issue of The Highlander addressing the venue change for 2020 Commencement, ASUCR President Julian Gonzalez said: It’s concerning that we were not asked about a venue. I can probably speak for every fourth year by saying that I do not want commencement in Ontario. I want my commencement near the Bell Tower.

Here’s a nice profile of the University Carillonneur!

Don’t forget to take a graduation pic with the Bell Tower in the background!

To new and continuing students: Welcome to the University of California, Riverside. The start of a new academic year is an exciting time, and we look forward to welcoming you to our campus community. UCR Carillonneur, David Christensen, plays the Carillon inside the bell tower welcoming returning students home.

Theme from Moulin Rouge, a beautiful, bittersweet song by George Auric is played on the carillon at the University of California, Riverside by David Christensen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-QPrcBHU9Oc
