MAKING IT EASY
If you were to tell me in high school that I would be president of my alma mater ’ s alumni association one day , I would have said “ no way .” I made good grades , sure , but I pretty much forgot to apply for college , and ended up at the Air Force Academy thanks to their rolling admissions . It wasn ’ t the place for me , however , and I was incredibly lucky that my mid-year transfer to UC San Diego was approved .
Once into my first quarter , I honestly didn ’ t think I was going to make it . Yet I found my purpose by volunteering with the high school outreach program through Third College ( now Thurgood Marshall College ), encouraging local students to apply to college and see UC San Diego in their future . I had been one of them , after all , and I knew that if I was telling them they could make it in college , I would have to make it myself .
The curriculum and culture of Third inspired me to make a lasting commitment to community involvement through service . I realized that you can ’ t go through life taking things — you have to give back . We can all get involved , even in a small way , and a lot of people working in small ways can add up to a big difference .
I recall how easy it was to be involved on campus as a student — every other day you could sign a petition or volunteer to support a cause . Today , it ’ s not so easy . We all perform a delicate balancing act with life , work and family obligations .
Yet as the new president of your alumni association , I pledge to bring the same spirit fostered by my Third College experience and make it easy for you , as alumni , to take part in giving back to the community . Stay tuned for the opportunities UCSD Alumni will soon be bringing to you . You ’ ll love being a part of the impact we ’ re making .
With Triton pride ,
Robert Brownlie , Marshall ’ 85 President , UCSD Alumni Board of Directors
