At the University of California at San Diego, career-services and alumni-relations offices have been combined as part of an effort to commit to ensuring the success and mobility of students, said Armin Afsahi, associate vice chancellor and chief alumni officer.

LinkedIn has played a key role in helping UC-San Diego keep track of and engage with alumni, and the Add-to-Profile button is just the next step, Mr. Afsahi said.

UC San Diego has joined the floodtide of universities that have created their own online crowdfunding sites, a move that’s bringing in money for projects as different as electric car research and renovating a baseball park.

The site, Crowdsurf, is getting underway at the same time that one of the school’s professors is launching Benefunder, a non-profit group that will try to get philanthropists to donate to specific researchers nationwide, including about 100 at UC San Diego.

Greeting a standing room only crowd at The Basement launch event, Armin Afsahi, associate vice chancellor for advancement and chief alumni officer, said, “More than a year ago, Chancellor Khosla did one of the most daring and bold moves in higher education—he vertically aligned our program in alumni relations and industry engagement with career and professional development for our students, and the purpose for that was very simple: to build a very strong, sustainable and nurturing environment where we remain committed to the success and mobility of our students. Today is a celebration not just for his vision, but a vision of three of our graduates who got excited about building a shared space called The Basement.”

Entrepreneurs are not waiting to graduate college before starting their own ventures anymore. Thousands of students across the country are developing apps and products on campus, often in their own dorm rooms.

But thanks to their alumni organization, student entrepreneurs at UC San Diego will soon have a more formal home for their startups. On Friday, the office of Alumni & Community Engagement will launch The Basement, an incubator and accelerator program open to all undergraduate students and housed in the basement of the Mandeville Center.

The university offers several incubators and accelerators, but until now there has not been one that welcomes undergrads of all kinds and from all disciplines.

UCSD has a rich history of entrepreneurship, and the goal of this project is to encourage more of it, said Armin Afsahi, Associate Vice Chancellor for Advancement and Chief Alumni Officer. The alumni organization says there are currently more than 200 active UC San Diego-related companies in the San Diego area, generating about $31.6 billion in annual sales and accounting for more than 29,000 jobs.

Officials at the University of California, San Diego, had sparse information on the career success of their graduates until they set up a branded page for the university on LinkedIn a couple of years ago.

“Back then, we had records on 125,000 alumni, but we had good employment information on less than 10,000 of them,” recalled Armin Afsahi, who oversees alumni relations as the university’s associate vice chancellor for advancement. “Aside from Qualcomm, which is in our back yard, we didn’t know who employed our alumni.”

This 128-page visual history commemorates the University’s growth; its leaders, scholars, discoveries, students, buildings, influence and spirit.  It was a gift to the campus community on the occasion of UCSD's 50th anniversary celebration.

Balboa Tennis Club
The history of the Balboa Tennis Club dates back to 1922 when a small group of tennis enthusiasts raised $5,000 among themselves, and with the cooperation from the City Recreation Department, constructed six tennis courts adjacent to the present War Memorial Building.
On April 24, 1924, the San Diego Tennis Association received a lease to operate the courts for the public.  The following year, a small clubhouse with locker rooms was built; but it was not until June 1939 that Articles of Incorporation were drawn up, and the Balboa Tennis Club actually was formed as a public, nonprofit corporation to "foster and develop the game of tennis in San Diego....and to encourage competitive play with other clubs of this and other communities."

The club flourished many years at its' original location and aided many young players in developing their games. In June 1966, the club moved to its' present location and in July, 1983, assumed all the operational responsibilities of the Morley Field Tennis Complex. In 1989 Balboa Tennis Club was rated as America's Best Public Tennis Facility by the United States Tennis Association. In 2000, the San Diego District Tennis Association named BTC the Club of the Year. In 2003 we received the Outstanding Tennis Facility award for large facilities in the United States, from the United States Tennis Association.
