More than 200 people packed Atkinson Hall this morning to celebrate the naming of the UC San Diego Division of Calit2 as the Qualcomm Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology.  The name change recognizes the critical role Qualcomm, and its affiliated Qualcomm Foundation, have played in Calit2 since the state of California created the institutes in 2000.
