This is a list of Presidents of La Sierra University in Riverside, California and the institutions that preceded it.
Background information
Short history
La Sierra was founded in 1922 when the Seventh-day Adventist Church obtained 300 acres of land in an unincorporated are of Riverside County. The land was once a part of a large Mexican land grant called Rancho La Sierra, giving La Sierra its current name. In 1964, the City of Riverside annexed the land the school was built on, putting the school within the city limits.[1] Since its founding in 1922 as La Sierra Academy, La Sierra has morphed through a number of stages. In 1927, the school became known as La Sierra Academy and Normal School, then in 1927, after course offerings were expanded, it became known as the Southern California Junior College.[2] In 1939, the school became La Sierra College, it received accreditation as a four-year liberal arts college seven years later.[2] In 1967, the college merged with Loma Linda University becoming the University's College of Arts and Sciences of that school.[2] Finally, in 1990, La Sierra in its current form was born when the campuses were reorganized as separate institutions.[2]
