Message From Your Chancellor's Associates Chair This holiday season, as we gather with our families and reflect on the passing year, I hope you are as proud as I am of what our Triton community has accomplished. Your steadfast support continues to contribute to the growth of the Chancellor’s Associates Scholarship program. Through initiatives such as the Silberman Inspiration Challenge II, Timmons/Sandstrom Endowment Challenge and GOLD Match, we are empowering aspiring learners by offering the boundless gift of academic opportunity. Thank you for your continued encouragement and involvement. Meet Our Supporters Grace Shiao ’95 and Isan Chen value the importance of education. Both are first-generation immigrants from families of modest means. “We knew that if we wanted more career opportunities and doors opened to us, having a higher education was necessary.” Now, they are paying it forward, providing funding for a new generation of students from similar backgrounds through their support of Chancellor’s Associates Scholarships. Bespoke Partners Chancellor’s Chancellor’s Associates Scholar Alumni (CASP) are demonstrating their pride in UC San Diego in countless ways. A perfect example is Candi Xaysana ’18, a CASP alumna who works as a Research Analyst at Bespoke Partners. Because of Candi’s involvement, Bespoke Partners is making an investment at UC San Diego by not only supporting a current-use Chancellor’s Associates Scholarship, leveraging the Silberman Inspiration Challenge II to fund a transfer student in social sciences, but also making a gift to CASP to fund wraparound services such as peer mentoring that every scholar receives. Chancellor’s Associates can once again enjoy access to the Faculty Club. Visit the newly renovated space and receive the discounted member price on food and drinks.
