LETTER FROM THE CHANCELLOR
MAKING CONNECTIONS
As Tritons , we share a unique bond that transcends geography , disciplines and decades , because the people who are drawn to UC San Diego share much in common — we are innovators , intellectuals , risk-takers and humanists . Our curiosity and drive lead us to break from the ordinary to conduct breakthrough work in order to benefit our society and world . These traits connect us .
It is my goal to enhance these connections among our alumni , students , faculty and staff . A prime example is the UC San Diego & You alumni program that re-connects graduates with their fellow Tritons and imparts the latest faculty research positively impacting our society . This year , I ’ ve attended three of these events in Washington , D . C ., Silicon Valley and Los Angeles . I ’ ve been exceedingly impressed with the people I ’ ve met — alumni who ’ ve created their own businesses , who are influencing and shaping national policy , and who ’ ve devoted their careers to public service . I am proud of the achievements of our alumni , who reflect the best of our university , enhance our reputation as a world leader in higher education , and use their UC San Diego education to make our world a better place .
“ I am proud of the achievements of our alumni , who reflect the best of our university ...”
With 170,000 graduates and 33,000 current students , our network of Tritons is growing and strengthening . Together , we can continue to create meaningful opportunities to connect and collaborate as members of the elite Triton community .
I hope to see you soon , and I personally invite all of our graduates back to campus for our extended Alumni Weekend , June 2-5 .
With kind regards ,
Pradeep K . Khosla Chancellor
