The University of California announced that Janet Reilly is the next chair of the system's board of regents and Maria Anguiano is the board's new vice chair. The terms for both began on Monday.

Reilly was originally appointed as a regent in 2019. She was formerly an executive producer and on-air host for KNTV, the NBC affiliate in the San Francisco Bay Area. She received her bachelor's degree from UCLA before getting a master's degree in journalism from Northwestern University.

"My journey with UC began as a student at UCLA, and it is this personal connection that has deepened my belief in the transformative power of this institution," Reilly said in a statement. "I am both humbled and excited to take on the role of chair of the UC Board of Regents, and I am eager to continue working with the many talented colleagues who make up this remarkable community."

Anguiano has served as a regent since 2017 and has had several other roles at UC, including in the system's central office of the president and as vice chancellor of planning and budget at UC Riverside.

"In my role as vice chair of the Board of Regents, I am eager to collaborate across UC to explore innovative ways to increase access for the Californians we serve and provide opportunities to the state's diverse community," Anguiano said in a statement.
