WHAT IS FOUNDERS CELEBRATION?
UC San Diego’s founders had a vision for a different kind of university: one that would produce scholars who think beyond conventional wisdom to improve the quality of human life. Decades later, that philosophy continues to unite our academic community and encourages great minds to look deeper and achieve the unimaginable. The annual Founders Celebration celebrates their vision and commemorates the day the campus was officially founded in November 1960.
