Several milestones shaped 2010 for the University of California, many of which happened right on the UCSF campus.

The first faculty prize winners were drawn for the 2010 UCSF Charitable Giving Campaign, themed “The Heart of UCSF.”

It was a breakthrough year for UCSF’s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender (LGBT) Resource Center, long the nation’s only LGBT office in a health care or health education setting.

This past year UCSF has furthered its mission of advancing health worldwide from the groundbreaking of a medical center at Mission Bay, and continuing to make major medical advances through scientific breakthroughs, leading patient care and innovative campus expansions.
