(ILC) added 11 profiles of immigrants who founded U.S.-based, not-for-profit organizations to a new Social Entrepreneur section of its online Immigrant Entrepreneur Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame was launched in 2012 to honor the entrepreneurial spirit of immigrants in the U.S. and pay tribute to individual immigrants who have made significant contributions to American society. These 11 social entrepreneurs are shining examples of how the drive and spirit of American immigrants can be used to benefit others. Two of the nation’s most influential environmental organizations were founded by immigrants. John Muir, an immigrant from Scotland, co-founded the Sierra Club, and Dennis Puleston, an immigrant from England, co-founded the Environmental Defense Fund. The efforts of these men led to the passage of significant environmental protection laws and the implementation of the National Park system. Three U.S. immigrants have impacted many thousands of lives around the world through prestigious international aid organizations. Bernard Amadei, an immigrant from France, founded Engineers Without Borders. Zainab Salbi, an immigrant from Iraq, co-founded Women for Women International, and Elizabeth Silverstein, an immigrant from Austria, co-founded Counterpart International. The field of medical research has benefited greatly from the efforts of immigrants. In particular, Michael J. Fox, an immigrant from Canada, founded the Michael J.

  • Ellen Browning Scripps Distinguished Alumni Award Karin Winner Class of 1962
    2008 Ellen Browning Scripps Distinguished Alumni Award Karin Winner Class of 1962 She describes herself as adventurous, passionate, intuitive, and demanding. A member of the El Miradero yearbook staff at Bishop’s, Karin Winner ’62 went on to major in journalism at the University of Southern California. However, her road to college was not a direct one. She was urged to postpone college and instead play tennis on the European circuit. Her talent was that good and, through some outside financial help, she honed her skills at the La Jolla Beach and Tennis Club. But Karin made a critical choice and opted for college, initially at the University of Wisconsin before transferring to USC. Very much a Mighty Gold, in addition to tennis Karin played field hockey, volleyball, and basketball while at Bishop’s. She believes that Bishop’s provided the forum for developing the attributes of a good person - manners, philosophy, spirituality, competitiveness, and humility. Karin’s first job after college was at a trade journal followed by a position at Women’s Wear Daily, where she had the opportunity to interview Rose Kennedy. She was later named West Coast editor for the publication and was integral in starting W magazine. Karin arrived at the San Diego Union in 1976 to work as a special features editor. Her rise to more managerial positions was swift. Just one year later, she was named assistant city editor, and a year after that, she became assistant manager editor- features. By 1986, Karin was working as the managing editor of the paper. In 1991 Helen Copley gave Karin the weighty job of overseeing the merger of the Union and Tribune papers.

  • Annual Report 2011–2012
    Annual Report 2011–2012 San Diego Natural History Museum Our Mission To interpret the natural world through research, education and exhibits; to promote understanding of the evolution and diversity of southern California and the peninsula of Baja California; and to inspire in all a respect for nature and the environment. October 2012 Dear Museum Friends, We close the 2011–12 fi scal year with renewed optimism and a collective sigh of relief. Over this past year we continued to realize the benefi ts of the many diffi cult decisions made in years 2008 through 2010. The year 2008 felt like the perfect economic storm, but critical analysis over the period of the recession and nimble strategic management last fall ushered in a new day when the Museum secured Titanic: The Artifact Exhibition which generated a critical revenue stream. Coupled with our self-imposed austerity measures, this year’s strong admissions and attendance numbers have helped to bring the Museum back to a fi rm fi nancial footing. This begs an important question: why is the San Diego Natural History Museum doing an exhibition on the Titanic? What does Titanic have to do with natural history? Our strategy for traveling exhibitions stems from a philosophy fi rst espoused by the Legler Benbough Foundation. When the Benbough Foundation funded the traveling exhibition hall that bears their name, the Foundation did so with the goal of “providing opportunities for San Diegans that would be otherwise unavailable.” As an important member of the San Diego regional arts and culture community, we are providing opportunities to experience the fi nest exhibitions available regionally, nationally, and internationally.

    SCRI PPS INSTITUTION OF OCEANOGRAPHY FIRST FIFTY YEARS BY HELEN RAITT AND BEATRICE MOULTON The Ward Ritchie Press Copyright 1967 by Helen Raitt and Beatrice Moulton Library of Congress Catalog Card Number 67-22490 Printed in the USA by Anderson, Ritchie & Simon Designed by Ward Ritchie TO ROGER R. REVELLE WHO SAID IN A CHARTER DAY ADDRESS MARCH 22, 1950 "But a university is not great because it has many hundreds of buildings, thousands of employees, tens of thousands of students or millions of dollars of annual income. A university is not great because it has elegant classrooms, laboratories full of equipment, a well stocked library, a business-like administration or a winning foot­ ball team. Like all human institutions, a university is the product of the work and devotion of individual men and women, and it can be great only in so far as it can obtain the fullest measure of creative accomplishment from the men and women who give it life and meaning." PREFACE THE SAN DIEGO SUBURB of La Jolla lies some thirteen miles north of its parent city, at a point where the coastline dips abruptly inward and arcs gently to the north along a level stretch of beach. The beauty of its physical setting and the region'S mild climate have made the community a favorite of vacationers and those retiring from more rigorous climes and responsibilities, so that La Jolla has long been regarded as one of the "resort towns" of the California coast. There is speculation now that this sleepy, leisurely atmosphere is bound to change, for in 1964, one of the newest branches of the University of California was established here.
