The University of California San Diego has welcomed eight new alumni to its UC San Diego Alumni Board of Directors. The incoming members bring a wide range of experience, spanning Hollywood production and business to public policy and medicine.
The UC San Diego Alumni Board of Directors is composed of a dedicated group of alumni who are passionate about advancing the university’s mission and fostering a lifelong connection between alumni, students and the university.
UC San Diego alumni play a key role in the university’s success, creating connections that extend far beyond graduation. Through mentorship, volunteerism, advocacy and philanthropy, alumni help open doors for current students, support UC San Diego’s mission and continue to strengthen the Triton community.
That spirit of community and connection is particularly timely with the opening of UC San Diego’s Triton Alumni and Welcome Center in fall 2026. The new center will be a dedicated gathering place designed to welcome alumni back to campus and deepen their connection to the university and to one another. As UC San Diego enters this exciting new chapter, the Alumni Board of Directors is positioned to help shape even greater opportunities for Tritons to engage, give back and stay connected.
“We are thrilled to welcome these outstanding alumni as incoming board members,” said Shara Freeman Hoefel, assistant vice chancellor of Alumni Relations. “Their leadership comes at a special time in UC San Diego’s history, as we prepare to open the Triton Alumni and Welcome Center — a place truly created for our alumni. Our members’ experience, passion and connection to UC San Diego will be invaluable as we strengthen the ways alumni engage with one another and with the university, building an even more vibrant Triton community for generations to come.”
The incoming members of the UC San Diego Alumni Board of Directors for 2026-27 include:
