Library Associates Annual Giving Society
In honor of Geisel Library’s 50th anniversary, we proudly announced the creation of UC San Diego Library Associates in 2020. Library Associates is composed of alumni, faculty, staff, parents and dedicated community members who recognize that the Library is at the heart of UC San Diego’s entire academic mission. Library Associates include donors to any Library fund who provide critical support for us to meet immediate and long-term goals that ensure the Library continues to serve all of our constituencies and communities.
Library Associates are invited to partake in our various Library-hosted events, activities and workshops, including our Signature Event Series; keep up with Library happenings by receiving a print copy of Explore magazine and exclusive e-newsletters; help the Library support student success; and support the expansion and preservation of its collections and resources. A gift of any size to any Library fund will make you a Library Associate!
