I welcome Pradeep Khosla as UC San Diego’s next Chancellor. I am confident that he will build on the strong foundation of excellence in education, research, patient care and service established by our founders and campus members.

As a skilled leader, entrepreneur and innovator, he naturally fosters a collaborative and multi-disciplinary learning and working environment. He also has a proven track record of establishing fruitful partnerships and initiating successful diversity efforts. He has already expressed his commitment to ensuring access and affordability for deserving students, and providing an open and welcoming campus climate at UC San Diego.

I am certain that our campus has a bright future ahead with Pradeep Khosla as the eighth Chancellor. I congratulate him on his appointment, and I look forward to a smooth transition of leadership.
