Friends Innovation Fund
Building Tomorrow Together
Several years ago, we launched the Friends Innovation Fund, which was designed to bring the greater San Diego community and IR/PS closer together on global issues and events. Through annual gifts to the Friends Innovation Fund, our generous donors enable us to take advantage of innovative opportunities and meet new challenges, whether it’s support for student fellowships, bringing new speakers through the Dean’s Roundtable Lecture Series to the School, or funding faculty research.
As a Friend of IR/PS, your contributions to the Friends Innovation Fund will go a long way towards helping us train the leaders of tomorrow and shaping the future of the Pacific, and the world. Donors who give a minimum of $1,200 receive benefits for joining IR/PS, including invitations to attend the Dean’s Roundtable, our flagship speaker series for outreach to the San Diego community that shares our concerns on global issues. No matter what the giving level, your visionary leadership enables the university to build on its achievements and continue to strive for excellence in education, research and public service.
