Alumni Giving Makes History If you were one of the 8,082 alumni who made a gift this past year to UC San Diego, thank you! The 2010-2011 Alumni Participation Campaign was the most successful in UC San Diego history! The campaign goal of 8,000 gifts was exceeded, showing that despite tough economic times, alumni are still willing to invest in UC San Diego and higher education. Alumni gifts support many areas of campus including: scholarships and fellowships for ambitious and motivated students; seed money for new research and innovative programs; and faculty recruitment and retention efforts. Alumni participation is a key factor in college and university rankings, including U.S. News & World Report. Parents and students compare these rankings when making enrollment decisions, while corporations and foundations consider alumni participation when determining programs to fund. With the increase in alumni support and other private contributions, UC San Diego will be able to remain one of the nation’s top 10 public universities.

Everyone is a Member This bold change inaugurated during the year opened membership to all 140,000 alumni, giving them access to many privileges. Although everyone is a member, it is necessary to activate that membership by signing up online. During the year, 7,678 alumni activated their online profile to be recognized as a “general member.” Of those who activated their profile, 68 percent had never had a prior relationship with UCSD Alumni. These members receive special event invitations, campus and alumni news, as well as special discount savings on everything from local attractions to continuing education programs. Annual gifts are vital to the continued success of UC San Diego. This year, more than 1,600 new Benefactors and Associates made a gift to UCSD Alumni, generating $88,000. Alumni Loyalty Societies Alumni Benefactors Donors recognized for their gifts of $500 or more to support the Alumni Leadership Scholarship Endowment Fund.
