At the UC Irvine School of Social Sciences, we believe in the power of education, research, and community to drive real-world change. Today, on Giving Day, our community has the opportunity to come together and make a lasting difference.
The Dean’s Excellence Fund: Investing in Innovation
The Dean’s Excellence Fund is one of the most powerful ways to support students, faculty, and research. It provides immediate, flexible funding that allows us to respond to emerging needs and invest in bold ideas that create meaningful impact.
How Your Giving Day Gift Makes a Difference

- Strengthens Community and Global Engagement
Support—at every level—makes a meaningful impact.
Join Us in Making a Difference
If you’ve already made a gift, thank you for your generosity and continued commitment. If you haven’t yet, we invite you to be part of something transformative by investing in the Dean’s Excellence Fund today.
Donors who give $1,500 or more will be recognized as members of the Dean’s Leadership Society (DLS)—a distinguished group of supporters committed to advancing the School of Social Sciences. As a DLS member, you’ll gain access to exclusive events, leadership engagement opportunities, and deeper connections with faculty and university leadership.
We encourage you to explore our DLS Impact Report to see how donor support is shaping the future.
