SUBJECT:

Fifth Annual Excellence in Stewardship Award Winners

I am pleased to recognize two outstanding members of the University of California San Diego family who embody excellence in stewardship when engaging with our community supporters. Please join me in congratulating:

Dr. Ellen Beck, Clinical Professor, Family and Preventive Medicine and Executive Director, UC San Diego Student-Run Free Clinic Project

Rudy Murillo, Director, State Government Relations, University Communications and Public Affairs

The UC San Diego community defines exemplary stewardship as making every effort to ensure that our supporters – donors, volunteers, corporate partners and foundations – understand the true impact and importance of their involvement with UC San Diego. Excellent stewardship is more than thanking supporters; it is instilling pride and further engagement by communicating all that their involvement has made possible.

This award is presented by the Trustees of the UC San Diego Foundation. The honorees will be recognized on June 22, 2017, at the annual UC San Diego Foundation Dinner.

To learn more about our 2017 award winners and why they were selected to receive this distinction, please visit the Excellence in Stewardship website.

Please also consider whom you might nominate for the 2018 Excellence in Stewardship Awards. Recognition honors the impact of our colleagues on our community and demonstrates our gratitude for their outstanding efforts. Nominations for next year’s awards will be accepted beginning in November. For additional information, please contact Christy Bliss, Director of Donor Relations, ext. 26604, cmbliss@ucsd.edu.
