He was the first Hispanic Chancellor in the UC system, and also, at 43, the youngest person ever appointed to lead a UC campus. In addition to his academic work, Tomas Rivera provided much support and encouragement to new writers and artists in the community at large. He died in 1984 after a heart attack. The selection is chosen in homage to Tomas Rivera.)
