You may remember the anxiety of finals, and the fear and hope of the big world looming beyond. If you graduated after 1982, the Sun God festival was the perfect way to let off steam. This year, the Alumni Association is inviting alumni back as special guests for Sun God: the Alumni Experience on May 14, and two weeks later to celebrate Alumni Weekend, June 3-6. The celebrations will kick off with a fascinating, mid-week lecture featuring “Adventurer of the Year” Albert Lin, ’04, M.S. ’06, Ph.D. ’08, who will deliver an illustrated preview of his second summer expedition to search for the tomb of Genghis Khan. Come back
for one event or all and enjoy the fun and intellectual stimulation as you meet friends and faculty.

With Gratitude to Joan and Irwin Jacobs from the Alumni Community
Join the UCSD Alumni Association in expressing our sincere gratitude to Joan and Irwin Jacobs and their family for their gift of $75 million to UCSD Health Sciences. This is the largest gift ever made to UCSD Health Sciences in UC San Diego’s nearly 50 year history and will help transform the landscape of health care and medicine
in San Diego, and beyond, for generations to come.

Cancer Self-Testing
When he joined the Rady School of Management’s inaugural M.B.A. class in 2004, Sergey Sikora, M.B.A. ’06, already had a Ph.D. in biochemistry from UCLA, a U.S. patent for a drug target and a clear idea of what he wanted to get out of the Rady M.B.A. program. With UC San Diego’s strengths in science and technology, Sikora was confident that the school’s focus on bringing innovation to the marketplace was the perfect fit.
