Support Innovation and Discovery
The School of Physical Sciences has been a pivotal part of UC San Diego since its founding — the first students on campus were graduate students in physics, chemistry and earth sciences. Today, we continue to drive the innovation and discovery that has led the university to become one of the top research institutions in the world.
With your philanthropic support, the School of Physical Sciences will continue to build a diverse pipeline of student and faculty talent ready to blaze new trails to advance scientific understanding for the global good.
