Proud To Be 40

This year UCSD celebrates the 40th year since its founding on a dusty, breathtaking La Jolla mesa overlooking the sea. The best way to mark this special occasion? The consensus was - give a gift to the community. Thus was born this directory of UCSD-sponsored programs available to community members of all ages and interests.

UCSD's public service is spread from South County to North County, East County to the shores of the Pacific. Hundreds of UCSD faculty members, students and staff daily volunteer in K-12 classrooms, clinics, community centers and neighborhoods. Their public service ranges from mentoring programs in which elementary school students explore the arts, reading and the sciences, to health

In addition, UCSD is giving 40 gifts of service -- most of which were created just for this anniversary celebration - as an anniversary gift to the San Diego community, a special thank you for four decades of support. If you haven't already, we hope you'll avail yourself of any programs that suit your interest or need. Truly, we're here to serve San Diego; that's both our mission and privilege.
