EVERY DONOR MAKES A DIFFERENCE Once again, UC Santa Barbara alumni and friends have set a strong pace for The Campaign for UC Santa Barbara by contributing $70.9 million during 2006-07, an increase of nearly 30 percent over the previous year. This enormous rise in private giving reflects the building momentum generated by the campus’s first comprehensive fund-raising initiative, which seeks to raise $500 million for cutting-edge research and instruction, scholarships and fellowships, innovative programs, and new facilities. • We are delighted to report that by the end of the fiscal year on June 30, a total of $422 million had been donated to the campaign, including the largest gift to Fredric Steck and Henry Yang in front of the Mosher Alumni House. date: $12.5 million from Virgil Elings, a former UCSB physics professor, and Betty Elings Wells to support pioneering research and education at the California NanoSystems Institute. • Since the inception of the campaign in 2000, UC Santa Barbara’s endowment—now $190 million—has grown by $115 million. Forty-six new endowed professorships have been established during the campaign to attract and retain leading scholars in a wide range of disciplines— including nine new faculty chairs last year—bringing the total to 70. Similarly, 107 new graduate fellowships were created by philanthropic gifts to support outstanding students throughout the campus. • UC Santa Barbara’s remarkable progress toward the campaign goal gives testimony to the vision and generosity of the many volunteers and philanthropists who are honored in this report of private giving. We thank you for your continuing partnership in creating a dynamic future for our campus, and for helping to make UC Santa Barbara an extraordinary place. Fredric E. Steck, Jr. ’67, Chair Henry T.

In 2011 Oracle was the second- largest software maker by revenue, after Microsoft.[3] The company also develops and builds tools for database development and systems of middle-tier software, enterprise resource planning (ERP) software, customer relationship management (CRM) software and supply chain management (SCM) software. Larry Ellison, a co-founder of Oracle, served as Oracle's CEO from founding. On September 18, 2014, it was announced that he would be stepping down (with Mark Hurd and Safra Catz to become CEOs). Ellison became executive chairman and CTO.[4] He also served as the Chairman of the Board until his replacement by Jeffrey O. Henley in 2004. On August 22, 2008, the Associated Press ranked Ellison as the top-paid chief executive in the world.[5] Larry Ellison , Ellison was born in New York City but grew up in Chicago. He studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign and the University of Chicago without graduating before moving to California in 1966. While working at Ampex in the early 1970s, he became influenced by Edgar F. Codd's research on relational database design, which led in 1977 to the formation of what became Oracle.
