UC Irvine Giving Day 2025

To our loyal supporters,

I am honored to take part in Giving Day 2025, a time to reflect on my own journey as a first-generation student and celebrate UC Irvine’s unwavering dedication to uplifting its community—especially in times of challenge. Education, in every discipline, has the power to transform lives and bridge the gap between ambition and achievement for individuals from all backgrounds.

For over 50 years, the Chancellor’s Club has been a beacon of opportunity and support, identifying and addressing the most pressing needs of UC Irvine students. This year, we are continuing our commitment to fostering an inclusive academic environment by directing 100% of Giving Day donations to first-generation scholars pursuing advanced degrees. These scholars are conducting groundbreaking research that is shaping a brighter future, and with the growing demand for support, our role in empowering them has never been more crucial.

Our goal for Giving Day 2025 is ambitious yet essential: to raise $50,000 to expand student fellowships within the Graduate Division. With your generosity, we can provide at least three additional students with the financial resources they need to complete their degrees—free from the burden of financial hardship.

Your participation can make this Giving Day a defining moment for UC Irvine, reinforcing our collective legacy of shaping future leaders and innovators. Together, we can ensure that every Anteater has the opportunity to thrive and contribute to a more inclusive, brilliant tomorrow.

Thank you for considering a gift to the Chancellor’s Club this Giving Day. Your support is more than a donation—it’s an investment in the future.
