March Monthly Message

It’s hard to believe that winter quarter is now over, but today is the last day of final exams. Students are taking their well-earned spring break from the rigors of their coursework.  Staff and faculty are looking forward to the slower tempo of the break as well, a brief respite before the final push of the academic year. This has been a very busy quarter for all at UCI.

$55 million gift to research depression

$55 million gift to research depression

UCI has received a more than $55 million bequest from a longtime benefactor, the late philanthropist Audrey Steele Burnand, to fund the creation of a new campuswide center that will pursue research into the causes and treatment of depression. It is believed to be the largest philanthropic donation to a U.S. university to support research focused solely on depression, which is the most prevalent mental health disorder in the nation.
