Spring 2024 Issue: Educating the Whole Student
Today’s students are more than high-achieving scholars. They’re leaders and organizers. They’re athletes and fans. UC San Diego’s holistic approach to education encourages students to bring their authentic selves to campus, to think, to grow and to belong. This issue of UC San Diego Magazine showcases our students, faculty and alumni who are transforming education — from early childhood through college — to recognize a greater diversity of thoughts, experiences and perspectives. UC San Diego is the place where faculty and the campus community strive to enrich society through a spirit of innovation in the arts, science, health and technology.
