Chancellor Drake Celebrates 40th with Alumni Association

Chancellor Michael Drake joined nearly 70 alumni and friends to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the UCI Alumni Association March 26 in the UCI Student Center. Current and past association volunteers, donors, scholars and friends were on hand to mark this historic milestone of service to the university. UCIAA, a separately incorporated nonprofit organization, assists in recruitment and recognition of students and alumni, provides financial and moral support to the university, and disseminates information about the campus and its priorities to its 112,000 alumni family to engage them in a lasting connection with their alma mater.
