Celebrating 50 Years of
Chancellor’s Associates
ESTABLISHED in 1966, Chancellor’s
Associates has helped UC San Diego
achieve extraordinary success over the
past 50 years. Your gifts have established
nine Chancellor’s Associates Endowed
Chairs to help recruit and retain
renowned faculty, have assisted with
scholarship support for ambitious and
deserving students, and have funded
cutting-edge research projects that

Now, it’s time to celebrate! In honor of our
golden anniversary, Chancellor Pradeep
K. Khosla will host the annual Donor

Geisel University House on Wednesday,
June 22, 2016. Please save the date for this
special opportunity so we can honor and
applaud you, our Chancellor’s Associates.

Message From
the Chancellor
AS one of the top 15 research universities
worldwide, UC San Diego is a catalyst for
change, sparking discoveries that advance
society and drive economic impact. Our
stellar faculty continually play an integral
role in our ability to have this type of
profound impact.
As you’ll see in the cover story, the
Chancellor’s Associates Faculty
Excellence Awards winners clearly
exemplify the collaborative and
exceptional nature of our faculty. They
are outstanding teachers, researchers,
innovators and community citizens. Their
work, like the work of all our scholars,
keeps UC San Diego at the forefront of
academic excellence, helping to shape new
leaders, pursue cutting-edge research and
enhance vital services.

public research universities in the nation.
We are extremely fortunate to have them
on campus and to have generous friends
like you, our Chancellor’s Associates
donors, to support them. For 50 years,
Chancellor’s Associates has been an
important part of the Triton family,
helping transform UC San Diego from an
With kind regards,
From Your Chancellor’s
Associates Chair
I have been having a wonderful year learning
and seeing friends at UC San Diego. I hope that
you have enjoyed our programming, as well.
Have you had a chance to bring a friend to an
event or activity this year?
As you know, our goal is to double the size of
our Chancellor’s Associates group this year,
and, with your help, we can! One way we can
reach this goal is to each invite just one friend,
Linda Masters
colleague or family member to join us. In fact,
this year we have 50 new donors who have joined our circle.
These friends bring more of the community even closer to the
university and all of the benefits that it offers San Diego.
Our new friends have joined us at an auspicious time. This year
marks the 50th anniversary of Chancellor’s Associates. Since
1966, our group has been an important part of UC San Diego’s
journey to become a world-class campus of distinction. I hope
that you will all join me at the 2016 Chancellor’s Associates
Donor Recognition Celebration on June 22 at the Audrey Geisel
University House, the Chancellor’s home, to learn more about how
we plan to celebrate this happy milestone.
Best,
Linda Masters

Thank you for your ongoing support. Your
continued generosity, loyalty and vision
help us lay the foundation for our future.
Pradeep K. Khosla, Chancellor
University of California, San Diego
An Inside Look:
Faculty Excellence Awards
Selection Committee
EACH year, a small group of Chancellor’s Associates
comes together to review the nominations for Faculty
Excellence Awards and determine the winners. This year, six
Chancellor’s Associates took on this challenge, including three
UC San Diego alumni, all with backgrounds in a wide range of
professional fields.
Under the leadership of Selection Committee Chair Karen
Garsson ’88, the process moved fluidly and efficiently. Each
committee member had the opportunity to ask incisive
questions, to use a sample nomination rubric for evaluating
each nominated faculty member, and to have an inclusive
discussion about nominees before choosing award winners
who demonstrate their devotion to excellence in teaching,
research and service.
A special thank you to Garsson and the rest of our
outstanding 2016 Selection Committee: Walter Eckhart,
Marsha Korobkin, Andrew Tess ’06, Danielle Valenciano ’97
and Caroleen Williams. The Chancellor’s Associates team
greatly appreciates your thoughtfulness and collegiality.
If you would like to volunteer to serve on the 2017 Faculty
Excellence Awards Selection Committee, please contact
Emily Jerome at (858) 822-2540 or ejerome@ucsd.edu.
Donor Spotlight: Judith Morgan
FOR 50 years, Judith Morgan and her late husband,
Neil, followed the development of UC San Diego as
journalists, while getting to know the faculty and the
growing university. Judith wrote about the first class of
undergraduates, who arrived on campus in 1964, and has
remained closely connected to the university as a member
of the UC San Diego Foundation board of trustees.
As ardent supporters of education and civic engagement,
Judith and Neil donated their time and financial
support to help ensure that UC San Diego fulfills the
Judith Morgan
multidisciplinary vision of founder Roger Revelle,
whose biography they co-authored in 1996. In 1995, the couple was presented
with a Chancellor’s Associates Distinguished Service medal for their outstanding
contributions of time, resources and creativity. Neil was also honored in 2000 with the
inaugural Chancellor’s Medal, in part for his dedication to connecting the community
and campus.
Last year, the couple once again showed their support for UC San Diego with the
establishment of the Judith and Neil Morgan Endowed Fellowship to support up to two
doctoral students annually in the fields of humanities and humanistic social sciences.
The gift will help with archival or field research, dissertation support and student
support in perpetuity to help the university attract and retain top graduate students.
According to Judith, the couple’s long-term connection with UC San Diego reflects
values important to their family: civic engagement, global citizenship and love of
learning. She is also proud to be a member of the Chancellor’s Associates, she says,
because the group “has remained a steadfast sounding board for the chancellor,
spreading the word as university advocates and providing philanthropy to projects
that have made a difference between dreams and realities.”
Support for Stellar Students
YOUR annual support is making an incredible impact in growing the
Chancellor’s Associates Scholarship Program, one of Chancellor Pradeep
K. Khosla’s top priorities. Since the beginning of the program in fall 2013, your
donations have provided more than 215 students from underserved communities
with life-changing scholarships.
Many of you have had the opportunity to speak with several of these bright,
ambitious scholars at various Chancellor’s Associates events. For those of you who
have not yet met a Chancellor’s Associates Scholar, please join us for our annual
Donor Recognition Celebration on June 22, where you will get a chance to meet
some of these talented and deserving students.
Thank you for your ongoing support. Together, we are enabling these students to
reach for the stars.
Mix and Mingle at Our
New Meet-Ups
THIS summer, we’re launching a new
program series designed to get you
out and about around campus. Called
Meet-Ups, the informal, quarterly
gatherings will bring Chancellor’s
Associates together to explore
UC San Diego through private tours
of the Stuart Collection and Geisel
Library, as well as offer opportunities
to socialize, with happy hours before
ArtPower! performances and more. The
Meet-Ups will be in addition to our regular
colloquium series, with invitations and
event announcements sent via email.
We look forward to meeting up with you!
Ensuring Excellence with
an Endowed Gift
AS Chancellor’s Associates, you are
among UC San Diego’s most loyal and
engaged donors and have helped the
university grow tremendously. Now, you
have the opportunity to make a single gift
or multiyear pledge that will extend your
participation with Chancellor’s Associates
in perpetuity. With a minimum gift of
$70,000 (or a pledge of $14,000 per year
for five years), you establish an endowed
gift that enables the university to build on
its achievements, striving for excellence in
education, research and service.
Your generosity supports undergraduate
scholarships, creates faculty endowed
chairs and allows the Chancellor to meet
needs for exciting projects, programs
and research opportunities.
For more information on how you
can provide an endowed gift through
Chancellor’s Associates, please call
Jennifer Brown at (858) 534-3901.
