Working Toward

The Qualcomm Intellectual Property Scholarship Pro- gram was announced in mid- Feb. 2016. Designed to support law students with backgrounds in the fields of science, technol- ogy, engineering and math, the program provides an annual three-year award to three enter- ing law students who are gradu- ates of USD, the University of California, San Diego or San Diego State University who majored in specific STEM sub- jects. Additionally, recipients must also demonstrate an inter- est in intellectual property or related areas of law. To learn more, go to sandiego.edu/law. The Kaul Foundation is invest- ing in programs at the Joan B. Kroc School of Peace Studies to counter violent extremism around the world. Building on their support for a groundbreaking symposium on religion and peacebuilding in 2014, the foundation made gifts in 2016 totaling $12,500 to support proj- ects addressing violent extremism, including a symposium and region- al dialogues. The Las Patronas Founda- tion agreed to fund six comput- erized gurneys for the Beyster

Institute with an award of $38,950. When the gurneys were ordered, the gurney manufactur- er was so happy to hear about the gift that they donated an additional gurney, valued at an estimated $14,000, especially designed for maternity patients and equipped with fetal moni- toring equipment. Anklesaria ’88 (MBA) have pledged $50,000 to create an endowment for scholarships within the School of Business, specifically pertaining to supply chain. They created the David N. Burt Scholarship Fund to honor Dr. Burt; it’s because of his vision that the supply chain program exists at USD. This fund will be used to provide annual scholarships to one or more supply chain undergraduate students who demonstrate finan- cial need and have a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or greater. Mr. Ankle- saria serves on the Supply Chain Management Institute’s advisory board. There, he carries on the legacy of Dr. Burt by contributing his wealth of knowledge and experience to the evolving field of supply chain management. Jimmy Anklesaria ’85 (MBA) and Jennifer L.

the Common Good

The wisdom of Leading Change: The Campaign for USD is indis- putable. It supports programs that have been tested and proven over time, while simulta- neously finding new ways to address ever-changing challenges in all corners of the world. This campaign creates leaders. It promotes change. And I’m proud to play a role in its success.

I accepted the invitation to be the honorary chair of the Leading Change Campaign because I’ve always admired how the University of San Diego constantly strives to reach higher, to be better, to do more for its students, and to make a lasting difference in people’s lives. The students, faculty and alumni of the University of San Diego are changing the world — one person, one problem, one com- munity at a time. The goal of the campaign is to expand USD’s innovative approaches to problem-solving in ways that can be replicated, scaled and expanded.
