Stewartia are flowering trees which are among the most beautiful of all. Stewartia is a relatively small species, and many of those have been collected and are growing at Quarryhill.
This quiet and serene grove is dedicated to volunteer Sam Douglas, who, on passing in 2006, left the bulk of his estate to Quarryhill as a legacy gift. A bronze plaque on a granite stone in the grove honors the memory of Sam, and his legacy to the garden. For more information on Legacy Gifts see the Giving section.

The following cars represent the most technically advanced available.
Although pricey, the 2011 Chevrolet Volt will work excellently for anyone who commutes less than 40 miles, as it requires almost no gas during a typical week while providing a comfortable ride.
Pricing not available
Like other electric cars, the 2014 Chevrolet Spark EV offers limited usage scenarios due to its range, but its drivetrain is ultraefficient and surprisingly powerful.
After a little more than three years on the market, the plug-in hybrid Volt is approaching 60,000 units sold. Is that enough momentum to compete with the mind share of the Prius and Tesla? We ask General Motors.
General Motors, responding to price competition in the electric vehicle market, cuts the price of its plug-in hybrid to $34,995.
Chevrolet ups the price incentive on the Volt as all-electric rivals get price drops.
GM will likely show off a 2016 version of its Chevrolet Volt next year, which should come in at a lower cost and be improved all around.
Two pieces of ostensibly conflicting news last week gave fodder to proponents and opponents of GM's pathbreaking plug-in hybrid car.
Half battery, half engine, but a lot of tech to go with it. Just don't call it a hybrid.
GM engineers tweaked the 2013 Chevrolet Volt's battery cell chemistry to increase capacity, electric range, and overall fuel economy.
As GM restarts production of its plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, will this reduce the decibel level of some the harsher criticism?

GREAT place!
We loved the location -- right on the beach in a quiet community. The house itself had great style and earned raves from all six of us -- even our very discerning teenagers. It was very clean and well-maintained -- the photos on the website were perfect. The owner was very helpful and got back to me quickly when I had a few minor questions. The only downside we experienced was an unfortunate lack of toilet paper -- we had to re-stock almost immediately. Also, the stairs would be scary for a group with younger kids but were fine for us (ages 12 and up). Regarding activities, we enjoyed alternating days at the beach with trips to the theme parks (about an hour away). It gave us the perfect balance of fun and relaxation. The Ponce Inlet lighthouse, just a few miles away, was also a very enjoyable outing. Wonderful vacation!

It went by rather quietly, but iNSP (Incipient Network Storage Platform), a new block virtualization solution that the startup Incipient recently announced at Storage Decisions in New York, is probably one of the most important releases in recent storage news.
There is no want of solutions in that space -- making an impromptu, comprehensive list of block virtualization products is a challenge for anybody. I'll mention EMC Invista, Hitachi TagmaStore, and IBM SAN Volume Controller just to define the territory, but the complete list is obviously much longer.
However, iNSP is the first (and for now only) storage virtualization software that resides entirely inside an intelligent switch module. That's an architectural difference from competing products that run on arrays or ancillary appliances.
This first version of iNSP should start shipping before winter hits. It runs on Cisco Storage Service Module. Incipient plans to extend future versions to director-class switches from Brocade as well as mid-tier products.
"[With this version] we are targeting customers with 70TB of storage or more," says Robert Infantino, senior vice president of marketing and alliances for Incipient.
Replacing a storage array in those environments can take months, Infantino explains, which translates into additional costs such as overlapping leases and extended maintenance contracts. iNSP block virtualization capabilities can shorten that migration time significantly by making data migration to a different storage array transparent to your applications.
Obviously that also cuts the migration cost, which should resonate well with your CFO and can be an effective way to cost-justify a block virtualization product. But that's not the only benefit, nor one that's exclusive to iNSP: "We offer the same feature set of host-based volume managers, striping concatenation, partitioning and mirroring," Infantino adds.
That's good to know, but what makes iNSP particularly appealing in this crowded and much-debated segment is the ability to automate recurring storage provisioning tasks with templates that classify storage according to applications' demands.
For example, a template for a critical and frequently touched Oracle database would specify allocating a volume over multiple fast FC drives and taking frequent snapshots. By contrast, a template for an archive copy of the same database would use less-expensive SATA drives and prescribe no snapshots.
To see what the iNSP GUI looks like and get a glimpse of some of its features, check out this screenshot.
Another advantage is that iNSP virtualized volumes can be safely and quickly copied to a different location at any time, removing the need for planned downtime and making it possible to run storage optimization tasks concurrently with live applications.
What happens to existing volumes when you install iNSP? "We have a feature called encapsulation that maps physical LUNs to virtual LUNs," Infantino says. "After that you can do whatever you want with them."

Should degrees have "patches"?
Simple enough starting point. In the modern world our knowledge base is expanding so quickly that 5 years after you get a degree, quite a bit of what you learned is obselete, and quite a few important discoveries have been made. If you go into business, or government research, you may actually surpass the knowledge on any degree program, in your specific discipline... But, you'll still miss out on advances in your field of study, that do not apply to your business, or research.
Should modern universities offer degree patches, the way software companies offer patches. Every 5 years or so, each school is meant to design a one or two week online course, specifically designed to keep people who have already been granted degrees, in touch with the most up to date information in the field.
Having these patches on your degree, would then be quite valuable in the eyes of an employer I imagine. Some companies may even offer to pay for you to go get your patch...
Kinda seems like a no brainer to me.
Closing Statement from David Hamilton
Very fun and engaging discussion. Personally, I think MIT should get busy on this. Unlike many people here, however, I believe that proving knowledge and skills is the purpose of education. I believe every child is naturally curious, we don't teach them to be creative, we do the opposite. Teaching facts we know about the universe, or even ones we believe to be true because of a preponderance of evidence, has a place, and it's an incredibly important institution, one in desperate need of modern reform. As a bonus, first institution to do it well, gets an incredible revenue stream. Peace and love.

Aug 7 2012: This is an excellent idea. Imagine the patch for a psychology degree that's 20 years old, with the leaps in technology in brain imaging. I'd love to know what has been found since the split -brain studies I read about! And what we must be finding out about Learning with Coursera, Khan Academy, Ted Talks, learning games like Luminosity and all the MASSIVE amounts of data these are accumulating about the human mind. And then think of what we now must be uncovering in Behavioual psych just by monitoring what people search in the googlebox. Maybe a patch would not be possible, since one psych degree would be so different from another, depending what a person had chosen to focus on: Biological, Developmental, Cognitive, Forensic, Behavioral, and who was teaching then. Who is to say there is much similarity between schools as you get into upper level courses? I remember taking a class about sexual selection, one on circadian rhythms and one that debunked religion. You'd almost need to take your patch at your alma mater and hope your profs aren't retired. As you see, I think as I type- sorry about that- and I've come full circle: does a patch function to correct problems/mistakes or to add new content? Wouldn't offering a patch be tantamount to admitting that the degree issued is less than perfect? What prof will offer to come forward and say "my life's work has been shown to be incorrect in the following way(s) by so-and such university over there". And, how much of your degree was relevant to your life in the first place? Imagine having to refresh on something like circadian rhythms each year, or tricyclics vs. SSRIs (see, 20 year old degree talkin'). I still love the idea though- how do you see it being applied? Revisit first year through Coursera? That should show any change in the fundamentals of each field, no?
Aug 8 2012: I think the best way to do it, would be to use the "patch", that the institution already applies each year.
Each year, the head of each department, can look at changes in the course work, for the degrees offered by his or her department, and make notes on the changes. "Oh, if you got this degree last year, you would learn this, but not this..." Every few years, that information is combined into a single lecture, and you can sell it online, to anyone who graduated.
It would be hard to apply retroactively, but honestly, most major universities, keep their tenured staff around forever. Harvard, probably has a guy who was teaching there 25 years ago, and has old notes in a box with curriculum changes he's had to make over the years. Have the university, start looking for people who just horde their data, and buy it off of them.
It's definately something that would take some effort, but I think the first university to do it well, will sell a boat load of them. If it's MIT, or Harvard, no one will even question if the patch is legit, and you'll be able to get an MIT Forensic Psychology patch for you University of Michigan Forensic Psychology degree : P
This is such an MIT idea...
Aug 8 2012: If I wanted to start a business that performed this, that would probably be the way to go.
Honestly, this was just something in the back of my mind for awhile, had no intent to do anything with it. If I were to try, the easiest venue would probably be to make a short presentation to people associated with the open university program at MIT. Just keep emailing professors until the right ones respond.
I'm not a big fan of money. It would be nice, but the only degree I could patch right now would be an AS in Computer Networking, one of the more complex, and expensive programs to work on. This really isn't my kind of business, I'm still considering returning to school. It's going to make someone a lot of money though.

46 Louisville Students to be Recognized at Tuesday Night Reception
Mayor Jerry Abramson today announced the recipients of the annual Mayor's Outstanding High School Seniors award. Abramson will present the awards to 46 students this evening at 6:30 p.m., during a special reception at the Hyatt Regency of Louisville, 320 W. Jefferson St..
This year's recipients include students who emigrated from Cuba, Nigeria, Cameroon, Nicaragua and Vietnam. The group also contains at least 10 Governor's Scholars, a black belt in karate, the former top-ranked youth soccer player in Cameroon, two Eagle Scouts, a National Merit Scholar, a drama student who won a national Shakespeare competition, two students participating in the UPS School-to-Work program, and several teenagers who have overcome personal adversity to succeed in the classroom.
"Each year I look forward to this event because we are able to get a glimpse of the future of our community in the eyes of these phenomenal young people," Abramson said. "Their commitment to their families, academics and community service is an example from which we all can learn."The winners come from almost every public and private high school in Louisville. Each principal and guidance counselor in the city is asked to nominate a student for the award.
The Outstanding High School Seniors Award began in the mid 1980s, and when Abramson took office in 1986, he expanded the program to include more schools.

Through her leadership activities like three-year class officer, student representative for the Title 9 Executive Board, two-year Beta Club officer, and team captain for softball and basketball, Megan has truly had an impact on her peers.

October Virginia Wine Month kicks off next week and we have a few wine-themed getaways that will go perfectly with your leaf peeping!
A Wine Getaway in Northern Virginia
How about starting in Berryville at Veramar Vineyard? It's 100 acres of breathtaking beauty. Upcoming events at Vermar include Chili Day on October 5 and Italiano Pasta Day on October 19. If you're visiting at another time and are looking for lunch, try Village Square Restaurant in the heart of downtown Winchester. Two recommendations for staying the night are Smithfield Farm Bed & Breakfast in Berryville or Old Waterstreet Inn in Winchester.
On day two, take Route 7 into Loudoun County to sip more wine at Loudoun Valley Vineyards in Waterford and Dry Mill Vineyards & Winery in Leesburg. For dinner, plan to enjoy a wonderful farm-to-table dish at Grandale Farm Restaurant. This restaurant has been touted by Travel + Leisure among other publications; you won't go wrong. Want to call it a night here? Book a place at Goodstone Inn & Estate or Red Fox Inn.
Day three equals more wine! Hit Fauquier County's Wine Trail to visit Barrel Oak Winery in Delaplane and others along the way. Cheers!
Paddle Your Glass Off on the Eastern Shore
The world's first kayak winery tour was launched by and from SouthEast Expeditions in Onancock to Chatham Vineyards. The idea has been such a hit that Holly Grove Vineyards is now on board, too! If you're an avid kayaker, both vineyards can be kayaked to and enjoyed in a full-day tour. And at the end of that day? A great dinner and sunset view at Mallards at the Wharf followed by a comfortable, peaceful night's sleep at either Charlotte Hotel, The Inn at Onancock or Spinning Wheel Bed & Breakfast.
In the morning, enjoy breakfast in Exmore at Yellow Duck Bakery Cafe or Exmore Diner before heading to Williamsburg. Fall is beautiful across the entire Commonwealth, but to experience some of our nation's founding history amid the foliage is stunning. Spend some time at Colonial Williamsburg and include lunch at one of the period taverns. Buy yourself a fancy hat and blend right into the 18th century! Then it's on to Williamsburg Winery for a tasting and tour. Stay the night nearby at Colonial Gardens B&B, Liberty Rose B&B Inn, or A Williamsburg Sampler B&B.
Ways to Spend Another Day:
- Old Chickahominy House, Williamsburg
- Williamsburg AleWorks, Williamsburg
- Brass Cannon Brewing, Toano

Invisible Armies
A complete global history of guerrilla uprisings through the ages.
See more in Wars and Warfare; Global
Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow for National Security Studies
U.S. foreign policy; defense policy; military history; terrorism and guerrilla warfare.
Max Boot is one of America's leading military historians and foreign-policy analysts. The Jeane J. Kirkpatrick Senior Fellow in National Security Studies at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, Boot is also a contributing editor to the Weekly Standard and the Los Angeles Times, and a regular contributor to the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, Commentary, and other publications.
Boot's newest book, Invisible Armies: An Epic History of Guerrilla Warfare from Ancient Times to the Present, was released in January 2013 by W.W. Norton & Co./Liveright and immediately became a New York Times Bestseller. It was acclaimed as "enormous, brilliant, and important" (Michael Korda, the Daily Beast) and "thoughtful, smart, fluent, with an eye for the good story" (Michael Mazower, New York Times Book Review, front page). John Nagl wrote in the Wall Street Journal that "Mr. Boot's impressive work of military history is destined to be the classic account of what may be the oldest as well as the hardest form of war."
His previous book, War Made New: Technology, Warfare, and the Course of History, 1500 to Today (Gotham Books, 2006), has been hailed as a "magisterial survey of technology and war" by the New York Times and "brilliantly crafted history" by the Wall Street Journal.
Boot's first book of military history, The Savage Wars of Peace: Small Wars and the Rise of American Power (Basic Books) was selected as one of the best books of 2002 by numerous newspapers, won the 2003 General Wallace M. Greene Jr. Award from the Marine Corps Heritage Foundation as the best nonfiction book pertaining to Marine Corps history, and has been placed on Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy professional reading lists. More than 150,000 copies of his books are in print.
He is now writing two books for Norton/Liveright: a biography of Ronald Reagan and a biography of General Edward Lansdale, the legendary Cold War counterinsurgent.
Boot has served as an adviser to U.S. commanders in Iraq and Afghanistan. He was also a senior foreign policy adviser to John McCain's presidential campaign in 2007–2008 and a defense policy adviser to Mitt Romney's campaign in 2011–2012.
Boot is a frequent public speaker and guest on radio and television news programs, both at home and abroad. He has lectured on behalf of the U.S. State Department and at many military institutions, including the Army, Navy, and Air War Colleges, the Australian Defense College, the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare School, and West Point.
In 2004, he was named by the World Affairs Councils of America as one of "the 500 most influential people in the United States in the field of foreign policy." In 2007, he won the Eric Breindel Award for Excellence in Opinion Journalism, given annually to a writer who exhibits "love of country and its democratic institutions" and "bears witness to the evils of totalitarianism."
Before joining the Council in 2002, Boot spent eight years as a writer and editor at the Wall Street Journal, the last five years as op-ed editor. From 1992 to 1994 he was an editor and writer at the Christian Science Monitor.
Boot holds a bachelor's degree in history, with high honors, from the University of California, Berkeley (1991), and a master's degree in history from Yale University (1992). He was born in Russia, grew up in Los Angeles, and now lives in the New York area. He has three children: Victoria, Abigail, and William.

So at a $0.005 per play royalty on Spotify, that "values" a song at ~250 plays (assuming the $1.29 purchase price at iTunes). I know I have dozens if not hundreds of songs I've heard over 250 times (all paid for, NB). One might argue that this is irrelevant because people who make music aren't 'making a living' but $1.29 is fairly consistent with the market value of a single over a long period of time. I mean, we could easily bump the rate to $0.007 or $0.008 for arguments' sake if we factored in inflation, or even a lot higher (double, triple) and the numbers that would come on the other side of your Spotify statement would still be paltry.
Chris Ott covers it much better, so I'm just putting this here to show WITH MATH that the argument about streaming royalties has very little to do with 'the problem'.
Guy Fieri should start a record label.

Like snowflakes, no two NFL seasons are alike. I forget who first made that declaration. But it was a prescient observation.
Regarding your local 11, we are five weeks into the 2012 season, and the distinguishing feature is that, following each of the first five games, we were left with the following query: "What exactly did that mean?"

Havre de Grace's 2013 election brought back plenty of familiar faces Tuesday night, and Steve Gamatoria's waterfront property was approved by a more than 2-to-1 margin for purchase by the city.
Mayor Wayne Dougherty easily beat challenger Jim Miller for re-election, with 994 votes to Miller's 566.
Incumbents Randy Craig and John Correri secured their council seats with 1,054 votes and 907 votes, respectively.
Fred Cullum, a former councilman who was voted out last year, also won this time with 861 votes.
The voter turnout, meanwhile, was very low. Only 1,584 ballots were cast, out of 9,008 registered voters in the city this year.
The referendum question on Gamatoria's property, near the Concord Point Lighthouse which the city wants to use for open space, was easily approved, 1,098 votes to 458.
Gamatoria, who watched as the results were announced, said he was surprised it won so handily.
"I didn't think it would pass by that big of a margin," he said, noting he thinks people saw the "intrinsic value" of turning that property into public waterfront.
About losing to the incumbent mayor, Jim Miller said at least he tried.
"I guess the people were happy with what's been going on," he said. "I think I ran a decent campaign. We didn't do any dirty campaigning. I think we tried to do what was right."
Dougherty, meanwhile, was hugging everybody and glad to be back on top.
He said all the candidates, including Barnes and Greene, got good results.
"I have done this many times, but I always have those butterflies at the end of the meeting [before the results come]," he noted. "I felt good but not overly confident. What this tells me is that people like what they see, they like what's going on."
Craig had similar thoughts.
"I think people are generally pleased with the direction the city's moving in," he said, adding he was glad to see "some talented, enthusiastic" candidates compete in a good race.
"I think that says a lot about the community spirit in Havre de Grace," he said.
Cullum is glad to be returning to the dais after a year off.
"I am thrilled to be back," he said with a smile. "The time off gave me a chance to reflect on things a little and go back to work."
Many of those who voted Tuesday evening said they wanted the city to buy the Gamatoria property.
"I want the city to preserve it. I grew up here in this town and all the public waterfront is disappearing," Andy McIntyre, of Stokes Street, said, explaining he has lived in Havre de Grace since 1974.

The automatic federal budget cuts known as sequestration are now threatening head start programs for poor children.
Patricia Irvin, with Head Start Center, has worked in head start for 16 years and delights in the children.
"They really enjoy the social environment, and they enjoy the learning," she said.
"They are the neediest of the needy," said Community Action Partnership CEO, Leroy Gradford.
Gradford said he's has been warned by the feds to plan for sequestration cuts of five percent. He said that means he might have to take 13 fewer children this fall.
Head starts help some 550 children, and Gradford said it gets results.
"If you walk in and look at them in September, you wonder why we even want to get into this business. You walk out there now and look at some of them, and you'll see a different child," he said.
Irvin said the prospect of not being able to take some kids worries her. She worries about what is going to happen to those kids as they go on into kindergarten and on into school without that Head Start head start.
"They really need a start, a head start, in order to go to the next level," said Irvin.
"There's going to be students that go into the kindergarten classroom who aren't ready or prepared for school at all," said Sandra Burton with Head Start Center.
For now, head start plans to eliminate jobs already vacant and watch for the next round of budget talks in Washington.
"Watching, waiting and praying," said Burton.
Gradford said he hopes some families can avoid the impact of the cutbacks in head start by turning instead to Huntsville Schools' Pre-K program.

Congratulations to Kyle Harris-Smith, who was elected to the position of Commodore during the elections held on 8/13. Kyle has been a long time member of the Hoofer Sailing Club, able to trace his root back to the youth program over 17 years ago. We look forward to the upcoming year and seeing what it brings.
One of the first duties of being elected Commodore is choosing your board for the upcoming year. If you are or think you may be interested in serving on board for the upcoming year, please let Kyle know. Kyle can be reached by emailing his current post firstname.lastname@example.com or by sending your information to the current Commodore who will then pass it along to Kyle.
On Monday, July 21 we will be completely switching over to the new reefable Badger Sloop sails and making some changes to the rigging and de-rigging procedures for the fleet. At this time, you will need to watch a short video that will describe the changes and take an associated quiz before you will be able to check out a Badger Sloop. Starting on Monday, you will be able to access the video and quiz through the Sailing Club website and your rating will be automatically reinstated upon completion of the quiz. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause; this was preferable to attempting to get over 500 members through re-certification lessons.

Spent too much time browsing Lowe's, Home Depot etc for a solution to hang our curtains at a bay window. Stumbled across this product at Overstock and thougt it was worth the try. The package came complete with all needed hardware at a competitive price (when buying all pieces separately in a hardware store). We followed the instructions, and were at first a bit nervous when the instructions started with "unless you understand this, the installation will be incorrect" - or something like those words. It was as easy as slicing bread. It took me (double-left-handed) about 1 hour to put up the rod with the associated hardware. Since you are supposed to install the curtains while you put up the rod sections, we were completely done after that 1 hour. We used curtains with gammon rings, but are pretty sure it would work as easy with the clip rings. The rod looks neutral (we bought the antique brown), and the rod edges at the side windows are nicely turned to the wall - they form another anchor point witha single screw providing extra stability. We used relatively light curtains, and would not recommend this for heavy curtains since the "bump" (where the rod extends and jumps from the smaller to the larger diameter) may be harder to take. We however experience no difficulty, just have to guide the curtain gently. We had seen similar solutions at other stores, but this one was the best deal, looks and proves solid and comes with all hardware included. Buy this one if you need a bay window rod.
This rod enabled me to hang drapes from a bay window with uneven spacing. It is easy to adjust as you mount it and not too difficult to install if you are handy and experienced at hanging shades and rods. I would not recommend this for a 'first timer'. The rod is sturdy and the only problem was one screw hole that was too small and needed enlargement.
Had hoped this would work. If you have a bay window then this likely will work but it's not very attractive or high quality.
Let me start off by saying that this is the first time I've ever rated something this low. I received this curtain rod very quickly (as is usual for Overstock). It seems pretty sturdy and would work for my bay window. Well, I got the back rod installed with relative ease. When I went to install the side arms, that's when I ran into problems. The extensions on the side arms are jammed in so tight, I can't extend them. And this is on both side arms! If it was just one I would think it was a fluke, but it's both. That makes this pretty much unusable. Besides that, the box it came in was so mangled by the delivery service that I can't even use it to return this. So, unless I can find another box, I can't even return it. That's *** down the drain. I'm completely disappointed by this transaction. I'm getting to the point where I don't want to do anything online because it becomes such a hassle when it goes wrong.
My husband just hung this in our nursery bay window this weekend. We have 13 ft. ceilings so we needed a sturdy rod to hold 4 very heavy drapery panels. This rod was a perfect fit. He kept saying what good quality it was as he installed it. It took him a little longer than normal to install, but it was exactly what we needed in such a weird window.
The rod arrived within a week of ordering. The directions were sparse, but installation was reasonably simple. The only complaint is the plastic anchor bolts were flimsy, but our curtain panels are lightweight so not a worry for us. If using heavy draperies, you will want to use more sturdy anchors. We like the way the rod allows the drape to wrap around the end and touch the wall - there is no decorative knob, and no light comes in the sides. Our bay window has narrow walls, so to eliminate that knob was the perfect answer for our application.
This rod looks great, the color is solid, and it was very easy and fast to install.
the endcaps came off easy and needed to be glued. the overall piece was very nice.
This was the perfect solution to our problem. We needed a curtain rod to go on the bay window in our preschooler's room so we could keep out the early morning light. It was easy to install and looks great!
I struggled to find the right bay window rod and this is it! I love the color as it is exactly what I thought it would be. It fits the space just right and looks amazing!

Seeking to help keep the University of California accessible and affordable for California students, UC President Mark G. Yudof today (Oct. 23) announced an ambitious fundraising effort that aims to raise $1 billion for student support over the next four years.
Yudof also announced that he would be asking the UC Regents in November to expand the reach of an ongoing financial aid plan to ensure that eligible undergraduate students with family incomes of $70,000 or less will pay no systemwide fees.
"Our message today is simple," Yudof told an assembly of students at Sunnyside High School in east Fresno. "If you can earn the grades, you can get into the University of California. And if your family needs help, you can get financial aid.
"We're in the opportunity business, and even in hard fiscal times we are going to be doing everything we can to preserve one of the greatest attributes of the university — its rare combination of world-class education and research and its high proportion of students from low-income families."
Through the fundraising effort, Project You Can, all 10 UC campuses have committed to raise $1 billion in the aggregate over the next four years -- doubling the amount of private support the system has raised for scholarships, fellowships and other gift aid in the previous five years. The UC Board of Regents will be asked to endorse the effort at its November meeting.
Likewise, Yudof will ask the Board of Regents in November to expand the university's Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan to include California families with incomes below $70,000. The plan, approved by the Regents in February, currently covers all systemwide fees for resident undergraduates with financial need whose family incomes are $60,000 or below.
Yudof made his announcement at Sunnyside High School, which for 10 years has propelled promising students toward health careers through its Doctors Academy, a program sponsored by UCSF Fresno. Despite facing social and economic barriers — 87 percent of Sunnyside's students are eligible for free or reduced lunch — all Doctors Academy graduates have gone on to college, 43 percent of them at UC campuses.
"You can get into UC, and you can get assistance if you need it. That's our message today," Yudof told an assembly of about 250 students, with 50 participants in the Doctors Academy seated behind him.
"And it's appropriate to deliver this message here in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley, which is the heart of California."
Yudof reminded the students of the story of the academy's founder, Dr. Katherine Flores. Raised by her grandparents, she left the fields behind to earn her bachelor's degree from Stanford University and later graduated from UC Davis' medical school. She returned to the Fresno area where doctors are in short supply and started the program as a way to help future generations follow her trail.
"The chancellors and I agree that we need to be working on all fronts to maintain and enhance access and affordability even in times of tight budgets and continuing state disinvestment," Yudof said in comments preceding his address. "Our goal is to increase aid significantly for UC students receiving financial support and to make sure no qualified UC student is shut out simply because of a lack of resources."
Even before Yudof called on the chancellors to embark on the ambitious undertaking of raising $1 billion for student aid, UC campuses had been ramping up their efforts to raise private support as increases in student fees and other expenses have intensified the need for additional student financial support.
For campuses already conducting comprehensive fundraising campaigns, ambitious goals for student support have been set. On other campuses, the goals may be smaller and more specific to particular schools and colleges. On all campuses, however, there is clear recognition of the need to focus fundraising efforts more sharply on student support.
Project You Can and the Blue and Gold Opportunity Plan build on ongoing aid programs for UC students that enabled the university in 2008-09 to provide gift aid averaging $11,100 per student to more than half of all UC undergraduates, and to enroll more low-income students (nearly one-third of all undergraduates) than any comparable public or private institution.
Over the last five years, UC campuses collectively have received more than $100 million each year in philanthropic support for students. Privately funded scholarships and fellowships have played a smaller role than government and UC grants in providing financial support to students. In a typical year nearly 22,000 UC students receive approximately $110 million in private gift aid, or almost 1 in 10 students.
Yudof said increasing private support is more pressing than ever as UC has seen its state-funded budget slashed by $814 million in the last two years, and state support for each student decline by half over the last two decades. Bridging that funding shortfall has forced the university to take painful actions, such as a proposal to increase student fees over the next two years, and the implementation of furloughs for faculty and staff.
At the same time, the university has been exploring potential sources of new revenue in a variety of ways, including the recently formed UC Commission on the Future.
"While what I have proposed today will allow us to preserve access and help students with financial need, they are not a substitute for adequate state support," Yudof said. "We must continue our relentless advocacy in Sacramento for increased state funding, even while we explore new ways to increase support for the university and our students. We must be creative and flexible, except when it comes to one thing: the historic excellence of the university. That is one area where I will not compromise."More Information
