Annual Report 2014-2015

Deizel SarteChief Operating Officer for North County Health Services

The only thing that is certain is that everything changes. And, in the modern world, it changes more and more rapidly. Technology continuously transforms the content of work, the way we deliver health care and education, and how we produce and purchase products. Globalization also drives change as rising economies represent new competitors as well as new markets, and the global migration of people changes the character of communities, customers, patients, and clients. That is why access to new knowledge is so critical to any region’s future. It is through research universities such as UC San Diego that knowledge about these forces is discovered and developed. Universities such as UC San Diego also are committed to sharing this knowledge and its potential implications with diverse communities of practice and local citizens so they can navigate the future based on good information from reliable sources.

We at UC San Diego Extension are a vital partner in connecting the knowledge coming from practice as well as from research throughout the region. Increasingly, we touch the larger world because of our online and television capabilities. Working with faculty and industry experts, not-for-profit leaders, and civic entrepreneurs, Extension helps to ensure that everyone, no matter what stage of life or what part of the economy or community they represent, can engage with UC San Diego’s world-class education and cultural offerings, all with the goal of advancing regional prosperity and assuring a sustainable quality of life.

With our K–12 programs, we are preparing the next generation to take advantage of opportunities, not only for a college education, but also for lifelong learning. Through our cutting-edge courses and certificate programs, we are helping individuals be ready for the work that is available today and build the advanced niche skills they will need to thrive in a dynamic innovation economy. UC San Diego Extension’s commitment to lifelong learning also is evidenced by the wide array of cultural and educational programs that aim to enrich the lives of individuals in the region as well as to contribute and shape the civic dialogue about regional futures. With UCTV, which Extension manages, we are able to capture and share the very best of the entire University of California system’s content with a growing global audience. In all these ways, we are a bridge between knowledge and action in our region.

This annual report demonstrates not only the breadth and the depth of Extension’s offerings but also its continuing positive impact on the region.
