SUBJECT:

Commencement Speaker Selection Committee

A committee has been formed to advise the chancellor on a
commencement speaker for an all-campus UCSD graduation in
June 1999.

The committee, chaired by Vice Chancellor James M. Langley,
includes student, faculty, staff and alumni representatives.
The formation of the committee was recommended last June as a
vehicle for providing campus input to the chancellor on commencement
speakers. It is hoped that the committee can provide a short list
of candidates to the chancellor by the end of the month.

Students wishing to provide input on the commencement speaker
selection may contact one of the student representatives listed
below no later than Oct. 20. Other members of the campus community
can send their nominations or suggestions via campus mail or e-mail
to Pat Carson, External Relations, Mail Code 0059 or pcarson@ucsd.edu.

Appointed as student representatives were Joe Leventhal,
Associated Student president, jleventh@ucsd.edu; Katynka Martinez,
Graduate Student Association president, kmartinez@ucsd.edu; David
Fitzgerald, Revelle College, dfitzgerald@ucsd.edu; Nicole Hogan,
Warren College, nhogan@ucsd.edu; Eduardo Zaldivar, Thurgood Marshall
College, ezaldiva@weber.ucsd.edu; Erica Hannickel, Muir College,
ehannick@ucsd.edu; and Brian Thygesen, Eleanor Roosevelt College,
bthygese@ucsd.edu.

Others representatives include: Tom Bond, Provost, Revelle
College; David Jordan, Provost, Warren College; Barbara Sawrey,
Department of Chemistry, and Tim McDaniel, Department of Sociology,
faculty representatives; Chrystal Basil, Warren College student
affairs, staff representative; and Kevin Forrester, representing
alumni.

I look forward to receiving your nominations.
