Jason Halsey '90, BENG
As a bioengineering student, I valued networking with peers and the benefits of mentorship. Over the years, staying connected to UC San Diego through fellow alumni has garnered a strong alumni-based community and I saw full circle the impact of partnerships between education and industry. Through these connections I found the importance of supporting my alma mater by investing in the success of bioengineering graduate students at UC San Diego.
