The Riordan Programs are deeply saddened by the passing of our beloved namesake, co-founder and benefactor, former L.A. Mayor Richard J. Riordan. Mayor Riordan improved the lives of thousands of young people when he established the Riordan Programs 36 years ago at UCLA Anderson. His commitment to our programs never wavered and we are profoundly grateful.
