Building Our Future
Fiat Lux! “Let there be light,” the motto for the University of
California, is the guiding ideal for UC Santa Cruz. This report
contains examples of ways that faculty, staff, alumni, students, and
volunteers are bringing the light of understanding to the task of
building a better world.
Unlocking the mysteries of the human genome and applying this new
knowledge to improve our health. Animating the human spirit through the
arts. Preserving and transmitting the insights of literature. Ensuring access
to a university education for our brightest young scholars . These are
only some of the ways that UC Santa Cruz enlightens through research,
teaching, and service.
As a public university, UC Santa Cruz receives some funding from
the state of California. But we are only state-assisted, with less than half of
our operating costs derived from state support.
Because of this, we rely upon other sources of financial support to
accomplish our work. Private philanthropic gifts from foundations,
alumni, parents, and other friends are essential.
On behalf of the extended UC Santa Cruz family, I offer heartfelt thanks
to our generous benefactors, and I applaud the exceptional work of the
volunteers who help us in countless ways. At the same time, I invite you to
share my pride in the accomplishments that distinguish UC Santa Cruz.
If you do not already enjoy a place among our ever-widening circle
of donors and friends, please join us. Without your generous gifts
of time and money, we will be unable to meet fully our commitment
to keep bright the light of learning.

Chancellor, UC Santa Cruz
