MANDEVILLE AUDITORIUM Benjamin Britten, An American Overture Paul Hindemith, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d: A Requiem for those we love
June 2
Guest artists: Janelle DeStefano, mezzo-soprano Darren Chase, baritone Our season concludes with David Chase conducting an imaginative pairing of works by two European masters who came to the United States at the beginning of World War II. Britten composed his American Overture in 1941 for the Cleveland Orchestra, but it was not performed until 1983, six years after the composer’s death. Hindemith’s moving setting of Walt Whitman’s elegy for Abraham Lincoln, When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d: A Requiem for those we love, is considered by many to be his finest work; with chorus, mezzo-soprano, and baritone.

Lauray MacElhern, managing director and Dr. Gordon Saxe, director of research, UC San Diego Center for Integrative Medicine
By JENNIFER DAVIES
Cooking Up a Healthy Life Extension’s new Integrative Nutrition certificate teaches the ingredients for a healthy life. We’ve all heard it before: you are what you eat. In fact, that oft-repeated phrase is credited to French author Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, who wrote all the way back in 1826, “Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.” While most accept a basic correlation between nutrition and overall health, the idea that the right food prepared in the right way could treat or reverse certain ailments, even cancer, has often met with resistance, said Dr. Gordon Saxe, director of research and a founding member of the UC San Diego Center for Integrative Medicine. But when it comes to nutrition as medicine, the times are a-changin’—or have already changed. “I’ve dealt with doubters for decades,” he said. “Nowadays, there aren’t many
8
skeptics left. They’ve mostly either converted or died off.” Saxe remains very much focused on the living and how proper nutrition can improve a person’s health and well-being. Along with Lauray MacElhern, who serves as the managing director of the Center for Integrative Medicine, Saxe has designed a combined hands-on cooking course that draws on “nutrition science, epidemiology, and time-tested” principles to offer up selfhealing concepts centered around meals that are easy to prepare and enjoyable to eat. “You can have all the education and information in the world, but if it’s not practical, you are not going to use it,” MacElhern said. The classes have been popular— especially among students and health professionals who want to incorporate this as
Summer 2016 | extension.ucsd.edu | (858) 534-3400
part of clinical care. So Saxe and MacElhern have been searching for the right partners to help keep up with demand. “What we are trying to do is establish a deeply rooted approach to the use of food as medicine—and to offer it on a large and broad scale,” Saxe added. “We want to help transform healthcare from inside-out.” McElhern agreed, adding, “We need to train more people on how to use and teach this approach so we can reach even more people with this empowering and potentially life-saving knowledge.” To accomplish that, the Center for Integrative Medicine has teamed up with UC San Diego Extension to offer a certificate in Integrative Nutrition starting this fall. Grace Miller, director of UC San Diego Extension’s Healthcare and Behavioral
Carrot & Ginger Soup Sciences Division, said the new certificate will be online, allowing a wide variety of people—including nurses, physicians, case managers, caretakers, dieticians, and, of course, those who are interested in eating healthy—to access the content. “Online learning certainly ups the scalability of the program,” Miller said. “It almost becomes a train-the-trainers model.” MacElhern said providing this type of information is critical as more people are seeking complementary and alternative therapies (now referred to as “integrative medicine”), especially food and natural products. A National Institutes of Health survey from 2007 found that 83 million adults spent $33.9 billion out-of-pocket on complementary and alternative care. Of that total, almost $15 billion was spent on nonvitamin, non-mineral, and natural products. “People are demanding this as part of their overall health care,” she said.
Saxe recommended the patient begin to eat congee, a porridge of slow-cooked whole grains, such as brown rice, that can be traced back to the physicians of ancient China and is used in other cultures under different names. According to Saxe, congee, which is soothing, anti-inflammatory, and easily digested and absorbed, almost immediately began to do the trick, eliminating the severe pain and bowel symptoms of her Crohn’s disease. Today, about two years later, she remains free of the disease. “We were evolved to eat food,” he said, and because of that, our bodies are less equipped to absorb medicine and vitamins in pill form. “With many problems, we can use food as medicine.” Of course, a better diet is not the answer for all illnesses or conditions. “If I’m in a car accident, get me to a trauma center,” Saxe said. “That’s not the time to have a discussion about diet.”
Recipe for Health
Discovering the Possibilities
Eating healthy can mean many things to many people, but Saxe said the best diet is one that is whole-food and primarily plant-based. “It’s what is optimal for most people,” he said. Saxe stressed that there are a couple of important keys. One is the concept of eating cooked or raw foods in their natural state - whole and unrefined – not processed or chemicalized. A second is that the foundation of our diets should be a diverse array of plant foods. This doesn’t mean that one must be a strict vegan; only that most of what you eat is plant-based. While vegan diets can be among the healthiest if properly balanced and based on whole foods, veganism per se is not necessarily healthy. “Oreo cookies and even Bacon Bits may technically be vegan,” he said. “But they’re really not part of a whole food, plant-based diet.” There also are certain foods that are helpful for certain health issues. One of Saxe’s patients had an acute flare-up of Crohn’s disease, a condition from which she had long suffered. While her other doctors recommended that she have her colon removed, she wanted to avoid this at all costs.
Saxe and MacElhern are hardly new to the cause of integrative nutrition and complementary medicine. Still, both made their way to this passion via different paths. For Saxe, it was his father’s cancer diagnosis that fueled his interest. “I was just out of college and I stumbled across this,” Saxe said. “My dad was told he had less than a year to live. Together, we worked to improve his diet. Whether it was the diet or just the hope that it gave him, he lived another 10 years, mostly good quality. That time was a gift.” Saxe, who received his MD from Michigan State University, his PhD in epidemiology from the University of Michigan, and his MPH in nutrition from Tulane University, said he wanted to provide the empirical data behind the link between food choices and the ability to protect against a range of maladies, including diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. Much of Saxe’s research, which has received funding from the National Institutes of Health, the American Cancer Society, and The Cancer Project, has focused on the potential of diet to control the spread and improve survival in such cancers as prostate, breast, and pancreas.
4 servings Ingredients: 2 cloves of garlic, chopped 2–3 Tbsp ginger, peeled and grated (add more to taste) 1½ bunches of stemmed carrots (about 9 medium carrots) 3 Tbsp olive oil 4 cups vegetable broth 1 large onion, diced 1 tsp Lapsang Souchong brewed tea (or smoked paprika) Sea salt, to taste Preparation: Heat oil, 2 Tbsp broth, onions, ginger and garlic in soup pan. Sauté until onions are caramelized, then add garlic and ginger and sauté for another minute or two. Add remaining broth, tea, and carrots. Bring to a simmer. Cook until carrots are soft and will break with a fork. If soup seems too thick, add more broth to adjust consistency. Remove pan from heat. Wait a few minutes for soup to cool before blending. Blending: *Warning: blending soup at a warm to high temperature can cause the blender cap to explode. Make sure your soup has cooled and that there is a small air vent at top when blending. Never blend towards your face and always start on the lowest setting. In small batches, about 1 cup each, blend the soup to a thin puree. Blend longer for a creamier soup. I recommend a well-blended soup rather than a chunky one for this recipe. Once all the soup is blended, re-pour into soup pan and allow to simmer until it is ready to be served. Re-heating the soup will lead to a thinner, less airy consistency. You may notice some ‘air bubbles’ in the soup right after the puree—this is normal. Garnish with chopped green onion, sliced radish, or a sprig of parsley.

organization whose award-winning cooking classes in cancer centers and hospitals has educated more than 100,000 people in 160 cities and eight countries.

It’s the largest endowment at any academic institution in the United States to support integrative medicine research, especially with regard to nutrition. “Even in the early 2000s, there were few people who were interested in this,” Saxe said. “Not anymore. Health care providers see this as central to their mission. The landscape has changed enormously. And the potential to contribute to the transformation of health care is real.” n

MacElhern, on the other hand, was practically born to her work in integrative medicine. “My parents had a real passion for nutrition. They took lots of courses in macrobiotics, and I grew up going to naturopaths,” she said. “That was my life: being the weird kid eating seaweed and tofu and being made fun of for being so strange.” Being different became her strength, eventually leading her to advocate for nutrition at an international level to help promote a healthier society.

QUALCOMM THINKABIT LAB:
Giving Students Something to Think About
Ed Hidalgo senior director government affairs, Qualcomm
By JENNIFER DAVIES
Middle school students and engineering hardly seem like an easy or potent mix. However, if you walk into the Qualcomm Thinkabit Lab, the energy and excitement one feels is palpable. In one area, teachers are working with their students on how to redesign their classrooms to better inspire learning and collaboration. Around the corner, other students are learning the basics of computer coding. Off to the right, a few educators lounge in a brightly colored room filled with more than a dozen bean bag chairs and signs listing careers and personality characteristics. While it might seem like a jumble of activity, the aim of the Thinkabit Lab is quite clear: to introduce these students not only to marvels of engineering and innovation, but also to the world of work. It is also a place where dreams begin to take seed, said Ed Hidalgo, senior director

of government affairs at Qualcomm and the driving force behind Thinkabit. “This is about inspiring kids from all socio and economic backgrounds to get interested in STEAM (which is short for science, technology, engineering, arts, and math) and exposing educators to new environments and maybe new ways to teach,” he said. Since opening in March 2014, Thinkabit has welcomed thousands of sixth through eighth graders from around the region to explore a variety of careers as well as learn the basic building blocks of engineering. The reasoning is simple. Young people may have access to the many wonders of today’s technology, but it’s unlikely they realize that many San Diego companies are deeply involved in that growth. And here’s the big thing: this lets them know they can one day be a part of it. David Miyashiro, the superintendent of the Cajon Valley Union School District, said Thinkabit is helping transform education locally and beyond.
Summer 2016 | extension.ucsd.edu | (858) 534-3400
“Ed has catalyzed the conversation about education across the county and now across the country,” he said. “He created a solution for K–12 education when we didn’t know a problem existed.” That problem facing schools, Miyashiro explained, is that education has not kept up with the demands of the innovation economy. “The skills and experience kids need today are creativity and collaboration,” he said. “Our curriculum doesn’t always reflect that.” Thinkabit was born from a program Hidalgo lead at Qualcomm to boost job satisfaction and career management among its employees. He realized that the positive impact that it had on employees, could be expanded and be especially useful to students who were beginning to think about possible careers. “People were often searching for greener pastures, and what we found was they often weren’t in the right role, but they didn’t know how to develop in that role or how to get
prepared for their next move. They didn’t know how to change their situation,” he said. “We wanted to help teach people to own their career because today it is no longer a career ladder but a career lattice. You need to be able to manage your career in all different directions.” With that, he led a team that helped develop a program in which people could explore their strengths and interests, so they can be better informed regarding their career choices. “It was like, ‘Wow, there can be so much impact if we take these assessments and high quality coaching and help students discover their unique strengths, interests, and values and discover where they could be needed in the world,’” Hidalgo said. Ed Abeyta, assistant dean for community engagement and director of pre-college programs for UC San Diego Extension, who works closely with Hidalgo on STEAM initiatives, said Hidalgo has the right approach to engaging young people to envision their future. “Thinkabit focuses on exposing the students to many different options instead of having an individual pursue a career without any insight into how that career fits with a student’s talents or personality,” Abeyta said. Because of that, Thinkabit’s world of work is wide open with possibilities, and students are asked to consider a variety of careers, including that of a writer, graphic designer, chef, and, of course, an engineer. Still, the Thinkabit Lab is firmly committed to STEAM education—with classes in coding and robotics—that also incorporates creativity and teamwork. “The real magic is when you have engineering combined with art,” Hidalgo said “And our team has done an amazing job of creating a student centered space that combines art and engineering.” To spread that magic to a larger audience, Hidalgo and team knew they needed help; so they paired up with UC San Diego Extension to launch the STEAM Channel, an online channel that explores all facets of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through cutting-edge programming. UC San Diego Extension runs UCTV (www.uctv.tv/) and also has a number of online channels, including the Brain Channel and the Career
To spread that magic to a larger audience, Hidalgo and team knew they needed help; so they paired up with UC San Diego Extension to launch the STEAM Channel, an online channel that explores all facets of science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through cuttingedge programming. Channel. Since it first launched in March 2015, the STEAM Channel has had more than 1.8 million hits. “The STEAM Channel is huge because there are so many schools that can’t come to us,” Hidalgo said. “We can take this online and create a global platform.” To reach even more students and prepare them for local jobs, Thinkabit has expanded its reach by opening three Thinkabit Labs at three local middle schools in San Diego, Chula Vista, and Vista. They are also working to support San Diego Mayor, Kevin Faulconer’s initiative to create more makerspaces in the region by partnering with other local corporations like
SeaWorld and Raytheon. There is even a plan for a Thinkabit Lab in northern Virginia. The increased reach is important, Hidalgo said, because Thinkabit is changing kids’ lives by giving them a window into a brighter future. Recently, a student at the Thinkabit Lab seemed so withdrawn that the Thinkabit staff thought something was wrong. One of the team members went over to check on him, asking if he was OK. “He sat up and said, ‘I’ve just been sitting here thinking: how can I work here one day,’ Hidalgo said. “These kids internalize the lessons they learn here. They are like, “‘I’ve got to do this.’” n

Summer 2016 | extension.ucsd.edu | (858) 534-3400
While perusing jobs on Craigslist in 2007, Alan Bush came across one that looked interesting—a project manager for search engine optimization (SEO)—so he applied. The very next day he scored an interview with a prominent Internet marketing company, not even knowing what SEO was. “Before I met with the company’s CEO, I had to look up SEO on Wikipedia because I had no idea what that word meant,” he said of the growing field of SEO, which in its essence uses a variety of strategies, techniques, and tactics to increase the amount of visitors to a website. Nevertheless, Bush landed the job and has been hooked on SEO ever since. “I liked SEO because it was an emerging technology,” said Bush, who worked as an executive assistant, financial analyst, and loan broker before joining the SEO revolution. “You have to be a marketer, and it combines things I was good at: working with people, website technologies, creativity, content strategy, and analytics. I was managing people’s campaigns; it was exciting to see those strategies work.” Nearly a decade later, Bush is a premier digital marketing expert and sought-after SEO specialist, having worked with hundreds of clients (both Fortune 500 and start-ups) and even cocreating and cohosting two popular Internet marketing-related podcasts. He has certainly ridden the wave of success with SEO, one of the fastest growing forms of Internet marketing. Bush, currently the director of strategy of San Diego-based Internet marketing firm Ignite Visibility, also shares his SEO wisdom via Search Engine Optimization (SEO) and Marketing, a course through UC San Diego Extension. Through the class, students learn how to optimize websites for better rankings with top search engines; rewrite HTML code, titles and tags; choose competitive keywords; write optimized content; and create a successful linking plan. The benefits of SEO, Bush said, include enhanced visibility, better brand awareness,
and increased sales. He likens SEO to tuning up a car—it ultimately runs better. “SEO is the foundation of all digital marketing,” the University of Southern California graduate said. “With SEO, you have to clearly articulate what you are trying to convey, make the website user-friendly and search-engine-friendly, and reach out to influencers as well as your customers. If you can master SEO, you have a solid foundation for any other type of digital marketing.” Bush—who spent much of his youth in Cape Cod, Massachusetts—said SEO has evolved so much in the last few years that marketers sometimes have a hard time keeping up. “More and more tools have been taken away from an SEO’s arsenal,” he said. “Google is constantly changing the direction of what can and cannot be utilized for SEO. It’s a constant challenge to keep up with the emerging technologies, updates, and penalties associated with your website on search engines.” Bush said the continued rise of mobile technology will greatly impact SEO, and websites that are not mobile friendly will be missing out on opportunities. “Because mobile is becoming more and more accessible, it’s important to pay attention to how the user experience of the website influences buying decisions,” he said. “SEOs have to really add CRO, or conversion rate optimization, to their arsenal for both desktop and mobile users. Also bear in mind mobile devices have different sizes and shapes; smart phones, tablets, ‘phablets,’ and even the computer eyewear and emerging VR (virtual reality) technology will change the game even further.” Social media has also changed the way SEO specialists reach consumers. Now, marketing teams need social media specialists to help drive brand recognition, Bush said. The evolution of SEO also has created an employment boom in the industry. The top US cities with the highest number of SEO jobs are New York, Los Angeles, and
Alan Bush director of strategy, Ignite Visibility
San Francisco, according to digital creative staffing agency Onward Search. San Diego ranks number thirteen. The average annual salary for an SEO analyst/specialist in San Diego is $41,000–$75,000; a content/ keyword strategist earns $64,000–$93,000; an SEO manager makes $58,000–$86,000; and an SEO/search marketing manager pulls in $64,000–$113,000. Besides landing well-paying jobs, those who learn SEO also can boost their skills and value for current and future employers, Bush said. His UC San Diego Extension classes, for example, include a mix of university students, company owners, and marketers. “I want my students to understand the principles of marketing, not just SEO,” he said. “The foundation of marketing is being able to apply these skills to their website
and thought process. SEO incorporates content, social media, technical knowledge, and understanding of how a website works. People who are not traditionally marketers, but a graphic designer, for example, can learn SEO, which is going to add to her repertoire of what she can accomplish—she can design websites and market them, so she will add value to her job. “I’m not only teaching my students what to do, but why they are doing it,” Bush added. “It’s important to understand the strategy behind it. It’s not just about plugging in a key word; it’s about teaching them how to be marketers and how to think. They are increasing their value because they bring a specialty to the table. I thoroughly enjoy teaching and conveying my experience to bright and wonderful students. It’s rewarding for me.” n

Morgan Appel director, Education Department, UC San Diego Extension
Five Trends Shaping Education in the 21st Century By JENNIFER DAVIES For Morgan Appel, director of the Education Department at UC San Diego Extension, the work he does is always informed by the fundamental traditions of research universities, which are based on the three pillars of research, service, and teaching. While service and teaching are critical to his work, research plays a pivotal role because it informs the future. “In everything we do, there is always a research question, whether it be process or content,” he said. Appel, who has his bachelor’s and MBA from UC Irvine and done doctoral work at Claremont Graduate University’s School of 16
Educational Studies, said the research he does on education is both theoretical and practical. Despite overseeing a department that serves more than 8,000 students annually, Appel said he still teaches about three to four courses per year. “I do that to continue that connection and to keep my ear to the ground,” he said. “It’s easy for me to muse about theory in my office, but real insight into education requires me to be there and to interact with people who are doing the job.” Through his hands-on teaching experience and research, Appel has written on everything from Common Core to gifted students to adult education to the importance of contextual learning.
Summer 2016 | extension.ucsd.edu | (858) 534-3400
In his constant surveying of the landscape, Appel said he sees five big trends shaping education in the 21st century that will have an impact on teachers and students. These trends are:
Education is being redefined. Education is no longer the sole province of schools and universities. Increasingly, other institutions, including those in industry, are employing education’s best practices to provide training in the most effective and impactful way. “We are redefining where education is happening,” Appel said. “We understand that education is not only lifelong, but happens everywhere.”
Standardized tests are out and creativity is in when it comes to teaching, especially for K-12 teachers.
The knowledge economy of today requires that education moves beyond formal coursework to provide “just-in-time learning” through a variety of channels, including mentorships, he explained. Simply put, companies and trade organizations are looking for ways to offer new information and training in a time-efficient but fundamentally sound way. “Adult learners come to us with a host of expertise and knowledge,” Appel said. “What they are looking for is the mortar between the bricks.”
people who can integrate and can take their knowledge and apply it to new situations,” he said.
Creativity makes a comeback. Standardized tests are out and creativity is in when it comes to teaching, especially for K–12 teachers. “In education, the pendulum swings, and it swings in very extreme ways,” Appel said. “For the last 25 years, the discipline was focused on standardization. The consequence of that was a sapping of
“ What we are looking for is not for generalists in the traditional sense, but people who can integrate and can take their knowledge and apply it to new situations.” Global demand grows. The redefinition of education, coupled with a wave of retirements in the education profession, is increasing the demand for those who can teach and train. This trend is particularly evident in the world of occupational training, where the pace of innovation requires workers to update their skills constantly. That, in turn, translates into a need for instructors or teachers who can provide this niche training on a timely basis. Appel stressed that this training is not necessarily about specialization, but instead is about skills integration. “What we are looking for is not for generalists in the traditional sense, but
The need to see both the forest and trees.
creativity. It was a recipe that was very strict and that assumed everyone has the same pace and way of learning.” He said this demand for creativity is coming from industries and universities that are looking for problem-solvers—not just those versed in rote memorization. “It is not enough to paint by numbers. You must be able to paint a robust masterpiece,” Appel said.
Technology drives innovation and personalization. Technology, such as online learning, is fundamentally changing education, Appel said. It is leading to increased
personalization, allowing students to learn on their time and their terms. It is also fundamentally shifting the balance between formal and informal learning. “Education is now more of a learning partnership,” Appel said. But as the line between student and teacher blurs, there is greater need to ensure that all those involved in the learning process are critical consumers of information. “We help students understand where they are getting their information and what they should deem a credible source,” he said. “How do you distinguish between CNN and Uncle Billy’s Blog? It might seem intuitive, but really it’s not.”
Appel said there are common threads in education around the world, and so it is critical to know and understand the big picture on a global basis. “Though contexts may be different, administrators and practitioners are compelled to contend with similar issues and phenomena worldwide,” Appel said. “That’s seeing the forest.” On the other hand, he said, each learning experience needs to be understood in the unique context in which it operates. For instance, reading instruction is different when it is designed for K–12 students compared to adult learners at a community college. “As we move forward, these one-size-fitsall programs are not going to work anymore,” Appel said. “That’s seeing the trees.” n

Kim-Long Hua-Rupp student, Postbac Premed Program
Extension’s postbac premedical program prepares a screenwriter for his next act: medical school. Kim-Long Hua-Rupp knew he was ready for a career change. A screenwriter by training, Hua-Rupp was paying his bills by teaching MCAT test preparation courses in organic chemistry while working on screenplays in his spare time. “It was a good job, but I felt like I was stagnating,” he said of his test prep gig. “With screenwriting, if you are stagnating in one place, it shows up in other places.” So Hua-Rupp made a bold choice: he decided he wanted to challenge himself by going to medical school. At first, he thought he could teach himself the material needed for the MCAT, but he soon realized the folly of that approach. “I had no background in biology,” said Hua-Rupp, who graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in film. 18
Even if he had been able to master biology on his own, Hua-Rupp realized he needed an edge when it came to the competitive nature of the medical school application process. In 2013, for instance, nearly 58 percent of medical school applicants were denied admission to any medical school. So Hua-Rupp began investigating postbaccalaureate premedical programs, which are designed to help prospective medical students enhance their academic records as well as prepare them for the rigors of medical school. Because of the steep medical school admission odds, there has been an almost 50 percent increase in the existence of these postbaccalaureate, or “postbac,” programs since 2009, with approximately 140 schools now offering them.
Summer 2016 | extension.ucsd.edu | (858) 534-3400
Hua-Rupp ultimately decided on UC San Diego’s Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program, which is run by Extension, because the one-year program offered a shorter time commitment compared to other programs and it offered a more collaborative atmosphere. “We all take classes together and we are this big mob of postbaccalaureate students,” he said. “We support each other and help each other out. The support system you get is just great.” In fact, the vibe at the UC San Diego postbac program, which accepts just 30 students per year, reminded him of the American Film Institute (AFI), where he received his master’s degree in screenwriting. “There can be a really competitive nature to medical school, but I feel like with medicine, you have to be collaborative,” he

added. “That’s why I liked AFI, because it was a really collaborative place.” In fact, the support system is just one of the many similarities Hua-Rupp sees between the seemingly disparate worlds of medicine and screenwriting. First and foremost, he said, both demand a high level of dedication and hard work. “The number one connection that comes from writing is you need discipline,” he explained. “In screenwriting, a lot of people have talent. What differentiates you is discipline.” Hua-Rupp also said medicine and screenwriting require you to be in tune with and understand people’s needs and backgrounds. “You are mining human beings for emotional truths,” he said. “You have to have empathy and compassion for your characters and your patients.” But Hua-Rupp said UC San Diego Extension’s Post Baccalaureate Premedical Program has taught him about more than teamwork and compassion. It truly prepared him for the academic challenges that medical school will ultimately present. He had access to all of the resources at UC San Diego School of Medicine, which is one of the top medical schools in the country. He also said the classes in such subjects as biomedical science, physiology, and biochemistry matched the rigor of what is offered at medical schools. “The curriculum is similar to what you get in med school,” Hua-Rupp said. “It is really intense, but that’s when you can figure out you can do it. I feel like I can go to medical school with confidence that I can succeed.”
The UC San Diego postbac program, which is entering its fourth year, already has helped others in their quests to become doctors. From the first cohort of postbac students, nearly 80 percent of those who applied were accepted to such medical schools as UC San Diego, Michigan State, UCLA, UC Riverside, Stony Brook in New York, and the Medical College of Georgia. To assist with the application process, postbac students also receive MCAT tutoring,
advising on how to apply to medical school, and interview coaching. Hua-Rupp, who will graduate from the program this June, is ready to begin work on the all-important personal statement. He’s hoping his writing background will be a help, and he envisions crafting the personal statement as if it were a script. “I’ll just do draft after draft after draft,” he said. “That’s how you do it with screenwriting—with hundreds of drafts.” n

Goodbye big catalog Welcome to our slimmer magazine UC San Diego Extension has made its reputation by changing with the times. It should be no surprise that as the world becomes more digital, Extension has embraced this change. Winter 2016 was the final edition of the large course catalog, marking a milestone in Extension’s history. In its place we are publishing this slimmed-down, color periodical. It offers at-a-glance views of quarterly classes, programs and events—augmented with student and instructor profiles, plus editorial insights into the latest industry and career trends.

Five Reasons Why You Should Learn Another Language 1. More employable Being bilingual makes you more marketable. Whether you work in a business that’s looking to go international, or you work in a nonprofit that offers services to non-native English speakers, there are jobs for you. 2. Healthier brain Learning a second language improves overall brain health, including boosting memory and improving the ability to think critically. Several research studies have been conducted that support the idea that multilingual people have significantly better cognitive functionality. 3. Better at multitasking Switching between languages builds neuronal pathways, heightens focus, and gives the added benefit of being more adept at switching between tasks as well. 4. Stay sharp Knowing more than one language has been linked to preventing Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia. Neuroscientists believe that being multilingual helps people compensate for age-related declines and protect against memory loss, Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia.
Translation and Interpretation (Spanish/English) SPECIALIZED AND PROFESSIONAL CERTIFICATES Bilingual skills are highly marketable in today’s multicultural world and can open the door to a new career. Interpreters and translators work in public and private sectors, own and operate their own translation and interpretation service companies,
or work freelance. Learn how to transfer your language skills into a career in translation or interpretation today. • Translation Specialized Certificate • Translation & Interpretation Professional Certificate
5. Change your POV Research indicates that different languages offer different perspectives, influencing how people perceive and relay information about events, often with increasing empathy. We offer a wide range of courses every quarter to fulfill your language learning needs. Learn more at extension.ucsd.edu/languages

STEAM (Grades 5–12)
Test Prep (High School +)
Transfer Credit (Grades 11–12)
STEM is about science, technology, engineering and math. Adding art to this equation, STEM is transformed to STEAM, which is about using both sides of the brain for a well-rounded education. We recently added Sally Ride Science @UC San Diego and the STEAM Channel to our program lineup.
Students can prepare year-round for the ACT, SAT, GMAT, GRE, LSAT, and MCAT. Our Test Prep sessions provide the highest quality training without the high cost. They are available at UC San Diego and can also be customized and delivered onsite for your school or organization.
We now offer lower division transfer credit courses, including, but not limited to math, biology, psychology, philosophy, sociology and marine biology to qualified high school juniors and seniors. Transfer credit courses are equivalent to regular UC San Diego undergraduate courses and are transferable for units/subject credit towards Bachelor’s degrees at all UC campuses.

Share Your Story Lee LaRosa This photo says quite a bit about me—I have a super family at home as well as a fantastic family here at UC San Diego Extension. My work family makes it easy to want to come in every day. Being a (rare) San Diego native gives me an appreciation for working at a school with a long and illustrious history that just so happens to be in my home town. The leaders in my department have created a work environment that allows us to work well together toward the common goal of reaching current and potential students. We enjoy seeing the results of our work knowing we may be helping students achieve their ultimate goal—whether it is personal enrichment, career advancement, or both! The beautiful little girl in the photo is Paloma. She just turned 3 and as you can imagine is the light of my family’s life. She is our little superhero and is as fun as she looks. I’ll never forget just how happy and excited my co-workers were when I told them my wife, Dunja, was pregnant. I am lucky to work with such great and supportive people— my family here at UC San Diego Extension and particularly the public service and professional education division.

UC San Diego Master’s Degree Programs
What are UC San Diego Master’s Degrees? The following UC San Diego Master’s Degrees, also known as Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) programs—are fully accredited, graduate degrees for professionals, conferred by the University of California, San Diego and administered through Extension. Under a statewide project of the University of California, the MAS degree credential was introduced in January, 2001. Self-funded MAS degree programs are typically tailored to the lifestyle and level of experience of midcareer professionals and may be taken on a full or part-time basis.
Are there admission requirements? Yes, like any other graduate program, there are specific admission requirements for each degree program. This may be a combination of a related undergraduate degree, specified minimum GPA, relevant work experience, résumé, letters of recommendation, and a statement of purpose with the application. See individual program websites for details.
“ I definitely feel like my earning a MAS degree helped me be competitive in getting my current position.”
What are some of the benefits of the degree programs? Through the program curriculums, students develop core competencies related to their fields of study. There are many networking opportunities with guest speakers, and individuals actively engaged in their respective healthcare careers.
“ The constantly evolving health care environment used to be intimidating to approach. Now, I embrace the change and look forward to being a future leader in healthcare.” —Puneet Ghai (The Leadership of Healthcare Organizations Grad).
Do I need to take the GRE/GMAT? No, the GRE/GMAT is not required for admission to these programs.
Who are the faculty? Courses are taught by renowned faculty from the UC San Diego School of Medicine, California Western School of Law, and leaders in the health care, business, and law industries. See individual program websites for details.

Certificates have now become wellrespected among working adults, employers, and institutions of higher learning, offering a practical, concentrated study in a specific professional area. Today, continual changes in the workforce and the increasingly divergent needs have made the certificate program an increasingly valuable tool for personal and professional development. Most of the certificates offered by UC San Diego Extension can be earned in one to three years at a cost between $1,850 and $6,000.
Who Benefits From a Certificate Program? • Savvy employers who understand that encouraging professional growth is one of the best ways to attract and retain talented employees. • Career-oriented employees who want to acquire specialized training, or hone existing knowledge and skills. • Skilled professionals who need to stay current with new developments in their fields.
Arts & Humanities PROFESSIONAL Art and the Creative Process Brewing
Financial Assistance UC San Diego Extension is proud to work with reputable lenders to provide certificate students with an alternative for funding their education. Students enrolled in Extension courses do not need to file a FAFSA form; instead, students can apply online directly with approved lenders to secure the funds they need to pay for tuition and book fees.
