Eleven faculty and staff members received this year’s UCSF Founders Day Awards for their contributions in the areas of public service, exceptional service to UC San Francisco and excellence in nursing.

The awardees were honored at a luncheon Friday that showcased their accomplishments and celebrated the strong community they’ve helped build at UCSF.

“This event is one of UCSF’s great traditions – a time for us to pause and acknowledge our outstanding community … reflect on some of our remarkable accomplishments over the past year and acknowledge some exemplary individuals whose remarkable dedication makes UCSF the pre-eminent institution that it is,” said Chancellor Sam Hawgood, MBBS, in his opening remarks for the luncheon.
