A Message From the Chancellor

In addition to concluding the 10-year Campaign for UC San Diego with more than $3 billion raised — making us the youngest university in the nation to surpass a multibillion-dollar goal — we also exceeded $420 million in annual philanthropic support for the first time.

And while the financial markets were very tough this year, we know our endowment will stand the test of time and continue to grow over the long term.

Generous contributions to endowed funds across campus, including commitments of more than $541 million over the course of the Campaign, have significantly enhanced the achievement of our goals. Thanks to donors like you, we have expanded scholarship and fellowship support to help ensure that our students have the means to attend UC San Diego; transformed our campus into a global destination for arts, culture and athletics; connected and engaged our downtown community at UC San Diego Park & Market; enhanced our innovation ecosystem with new programs and facilities; and helped our physician-scientists redefine medicine and health care through novel research into cures. And we have done all of this together.

The permanent resources provided from endowed funds are critical to securing the future and key to our growth and ability to serve our public mission. In addition to perusing your personalized endowed fund report, I hope that you enjoy reading about how donors like you support our students, faculty and campus and help to transform lives — now and far into the future.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Pradeep K. Khosla
Chancellor
