Campus Site Directors

Currently, the Center includes seven of the UC campuses. Site Directors on each campus come from many different academic traditions — economics, evaluation, sociology, psychology, and education — and provide the breadth necessary to address a wide range of evaluation needs: 

Dr. Christina A. Christie, Director, UCEC
Professor, Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, 
UCEC - UC Los Angeles

Dr. Julian R. Betts
Professor and Chair, Department of Economics, 
UCEC - UC San Diego 

Dr. Greg J. Duncan
Distinguished Professor of Education, Department of Education, 
UCEC - UC Irvine 

Dr. Bruce Fuller
Professor, Graduate School of Education, 
UCEC - UC Berkeley 

Dr. Michal Kurlaender
Associate Professor, School of Education, 
UCEC - UC Davis 

Dr. William R. Shadish
Professor, School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts, 
UCEC - UC Merced 

Dr. John T. Yun
Associate Professor, The Gevirtz School, 
UCEC - UC Santa Barbara

Additional faculty on each campus will also be tapped to contribute to the goals and objectives of the Center and enhance the content and methodological knowledge necessary to address any potential evaluation. Given this range of content and evaluation expertise, along with a clear administrative infrastructure and mission, the UCEC can expertly address any conceivable educational evaluation.
