What Your Campaign Co-Chairs Have To Say About Giving . . .

“On a personal level, the Department of Dermatology and the College of Medicine have been very good to me in providing an environment to accomplish my academic goals. I would like to continue that tradition by supporting the department with an endowed chair. I think it’s extremely important to support UC in dermatology research and education.”               
                                                                 -Dr. Diya Mutasim, MD

“I choose to support the Christos P. Demakes Legacy Scholarship and the Darwin Turner Scholarship funds because I truly believe in higher education.  I hope my grandchildren and great grandchildren will take advantage of these wonderful scholarship opportunities.”

             -Darlene Carter

 

“I support diversity initiatives at UC because I believe they are vitally important.  They provide access to educational opportunities and prepare students for participation and leadership in a diverse society.” 

“Universities provide students life-changing exposure to many different people, cultures, ideas and viewpoints.  These life-lessons are essential to an educated citizenry and effective workforce in the 21st century.”

“We will enhance our institutional viability by developing the cultural competence of all UC students. Through pipeline programs with summer bridge experiences for high school students and scholarships for low-income students, UC can address larger economic, social, and global challenges.”
