It is my pleasure to publicly launch the University of California, Irvine's Shaping the Future comprehensive campaign. We are embarking on an historic effort to raise $1 billion to continue our work in shaping the future for our students, community and beyond.

The challenges facing our global community are significant, but the opportunities are abundant. UC Irvine is shaping the future of the things that matter to you every day.

California is already recognized as a world leader in business, entertainment and culture, medicine and technology. Through this campaign's success, UC Irvine will expand its role as a leading research and teaching institution and continue to invest in undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships and other academic support.

We dream big here at UC Irvine - just like Californians have always done. Likewise, our goals are achievable. Through your support of UC Irvine's commitment to your health, the environment and the preparation of leaders who understand the global economy and culture, we will be at the forefront of innovation and positive change.

Each donation, whatever its size, brings us one step closer to reaching these goals and realizing our attainable dream of making the world a better place for all.

Thank you for your generosity and support.

Sincerely,

Michael V. Drake, M.D.
Chancellor
