UC San Diego marked Día de los Muertos with a vibrant celebration at the heart of campus, transforming the steps in front of Price Center into a joyful space of remembrance and reflection.
“Breathe with Me,” a public art and mindfulness project at UC San Diego by renowned artist Jeppe Hein, invited participants to use art as a tool to improve mindfulness and connection.
The academic year started with a lot to celebrate as 2,000 students moved into a long-awaited living and learning neighborhood with a new undergraduate college, and across campus, another new neighborhood became the campus home of 1,300 upper-division undergraduates and transfer students.
The BONE Academy visited Morse High School to introduce students to the field of orthopedics. The mission was simple: To introduce students from underrepresented communities to the various career pathways in orthopedic surgery, empowering the students to imagine themselves as part of the health care team – whether as a surgeon, technician, nurse, physician assistant, administrative or business professional, therapist, researcher or scientist.
Organized by the UC San Diego Staff Association, Celebrate the Night is an annual tradition to honor the contributions of the nearly 300 staff members who work at UC San Diego when the sun goes down. This year’s event was held at the Ida and Cecil Green Faculty Club.
