Not the least of them is the satisfaction of being part of the University of California itself, about which former President Gardner recently said, on the occasion of his retirement: "The University of California is our state's crowning jewel, the principle point of access for people of talent and ambition, the quiet force from which much of California's economic power and strength derives, one of the world's great intellectual treasure houses, the repository of much of our cultural heritage, a cauldron of discovery, a marketplace of ideas-in short, one of the greatest centers of learning the world has ever known."

More tangible benefits include a wonderful health care package. This involves coverage for you and your dependents inclusive of domestic partners. Health care including dental and optometric care are covered within the package. Additional UC system benefits include inexpensive access to UCSD recreational facilities (sailing lessons, jet ski rentals, and other delights), reduced tuition for numerous UCSD courses, and substantial discounts on computer hardware and software at the UCSD Bookstore.
