President's Message

Retired faculty from all levels continue to be a vibrant part of the UCSD community through our participation in the Emeriti and Retirement associations. This association’s strength come out of its inclusiveness of those who served not only served as tenured faculty but those who made their contributions to building UCSD distinguished reputation by working primarily in laboratories, serving on research ships, and guiding students through the maze of research needs. In the association we come together again as colleagues to share both memories and gaze into the future.

After being thrown into the deep end (becoming program chair), in my first year of membership, I learned how membership in the association expands professional horizons. This was done by meeting members from all campus locations and departments. It is my hope that your membership is as rewarding. Read more...
