The School of Physical Sciences is so much more than a robust academic unit. We deliver scientific breakthroughs that reshape our understanding of the physical world and provide solutions to the most profound problems of our age. The school achieves this by asking hard questions; setting inspiring, visionary goals; and driving interdisciplinary research to chart new territory. With flagship projects in the environment, health, quantum science, and the universe, we are advancing humanity through a deeper understanding of the physical science that governs the world.
Just over 50 years old, the UCI School of Physical Sciences has a bright past with incredibly rich accomplishments – from discovering that CFCs deplete the ozone layer to the first detection of the neutrino, all the way to pioneering the use of quantitative investment techniques on wall street. Our future is brilliant and I invite you to join us on our journey of scientific discovery to ask and tackle the most profound questions of our time.
Our aim is to deliver scientific breakthroughs that reshape our understanding of the physical world and provide solutions to the most profound problems of our age. We achieve this by asking hard questions; setting inspiring, visionary goals; and cultivating an inclusive, interdisciplinary culture that is open to broad ideas.
Our students thrive in a diverse environment of inclusive excellence and emerge from our programs ready to transform the world. Equipped with a premier education, technical acumen, and an ethos of creative thinking, our graduates go on to unearth new knowledge and help build a future for the broader good.
Our alumni are heading top companies around the world, developing new drugs and therapies, and finding solutions for a clean-energy economy. They work in national and global agencies to influence policy and you’ll find them in classrooms around the globe teaching the next generation of leaders.
In line with these goals, this Giving Day, we are seeking your support for our Physical Sciences Dean’s Fund for Excellence. Your generosity will support the school’s most immediate and highest priorities including student and faculty research, sponsored departmental lectures, and public outreach and engagement initiatives. Our Dean’s Fund for Excellence allows us to respond to the school’s emerging needs in a flexible way to immediately enhance the education experience for our students by bolstering our programs, faculty and facilities.
Our alumni, supporters, and friends are at the heart of everything we do as so many of our initiatives would go unfulfilled without your generosity. For that we are immensely grateful. With your support, we can impact our community in a lasting way and welcome your giving at any level.
Thank you again for your generosity. Zot! Zot! Zot!
