Words
of Advice for
UCSD's New Chancellor
Marye Anne Fox has visited every continent,
been granted honorary status as a one-star
general for a day, and been cited by
Esquire Magazine as one of "The
Best of the New Generation – Men and
Women Under Forty Who are Changing America."
Still, even with such an impressive
resume, there is always more to learn
and experience. So, to welcome our new
chancellor, we sought pearls of advice
from faculty, staff and students about
what she might do as she settles into
her new life at UCSD. More |
"Take advantage of the sun and the beach. Just because we're facing massive budget cuts doesn't mean you shouldn't get out every once in a while. Learning to surf would give you instant street cred.”

The Guardian; second year student, Sixth College |

Chancellor
Greets
Students with Cookies
Students topped off their
lunch with a cookie, a handshake and
a question for the new chancellor, Marye
Anne Fox. The welcoming event took place
from noon to 1 p.m. on Sept. 20 — the
first day of school — on Ridge Walk,
which was flooded with students eating
complimentary pizza and gathering information
from campus groups that had set up booths
along the path. Fox, who donned a Triton
jersey with "Fox 1" on the
back, handed out chocolate chip cookies
and snicker doodles to anyone who dared
pose a question. |

Social Worker Earns More
Than Medals at Athens Paralympics
 The spirit to keep driving forward, to fight rather than falter, even in the face of catastrophe or defeat, is the essence of an Olympian athlete. As Melanie Benn, a social worker at the UCSD Medical Center, plows through lap after lap in the swimming pool, she is buoyed, propelled, by that essence – even after winning three medals at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens.
