*In memoriam

Welcome to A Celebration of Stars – The 2012 UCI Medal Awards!

It is an honor and a pleasure to once again host the signature

event of the University of California, Irvine. We are delighted to

share the evening with you to honor and illuminate the contributions

of this year’s class of Medalists: Sue and Bill Gross, Elizabeth Loftus,

and Betty Tu and David Tsoong. These individuals are renowned

for their visionary leadership, intellectual talents and spirit of

generosity. We join with you in extending heartfelt congratulations

to our 2012 UCI Medalists!

Tonight’s theme, “Be the Light,” is inspired by the UC motto, “Fiat Lux”

(“Let There Be Light”). We gather together this evening to shine a

light on the contributions of UCI: innovative research that will

transform humanity, dedicated faculty who inform and inspire

students to change the world, engaged and enlightened students

who will chart our course and shape our future. All are lifted higher

through the generosity of friends, like you, who give of their time,

talents and treasure to enrich our campus and our community.

From the amazing performances of Claire Trevor School of the

Arts students to moving video tributes to our illustrious awardees

and insights into pioneering research, we hope you recognize the

impact of UCI on Orange County, the nation and the world.

Thank you for joining us and investing in UC Irvine!

Dear Friends,

Since the UCI Medal, the University of California, Irvine’s highest

honor, was created in 1984, the campus has celebrated

more than 100 outstanding individuals, whose ranks include

Nobel Laureates, business and community leaders, faculty and

alumni. The UCI Medal gives formal and lifelong recognition

to individuals who have made extraordinary contributions

to the university’s mission, spirit and vision.

Tonight’s honorees, Sue and Bill Gross, Elizabeth Loftus, and

Betty Tu and David Tsoong, bring added dimension and

prestige to UC Irvine’s elite cadre of Medalists, and we are

grateful for their extraordinary contributions of time, service

and support.

The endeavors of our current and past Medalists have

helped our campus continue its remarkable rise among the

top universities anywhere in the world. We have become

internationally recognized for efforts that are improving lives

through research and discovery, fostering excellence in

scholarship and teaching, and engaging and enriching the

community and the world.

Thank you for joining us in recognizing the accomplishments

of these extraordinary people and ensuring a bright future

for tomorrow’s leaders. We are honored to be part of this

amazing event, and we look forward to celebrating with

you this evening.

“Shenandoah” – Reflecting the light of our country’s most beloved folk song, now sung by choirs around the world. This simple and hauntingly beautiful early 19th century song reflects the westward migration and speaks to us of the joys of affection and the sacrifices of separation. “Yes, Oh Yes” – Reflecting the light of America’s unique energy and innovation. The spiritual and jazz are two purely American art forms. The genre inspires us to rejoice in our founding fathers’ dream of freedom. “Wana Baraka” – Reflecting the light of our multicultural society, “Wana Baraka” is a traditional Kenyan song that the Men in Blaque are singing in Swahili. “They have peace, they have joy, they have well-being!”

CLOSING REMARKS

Sue & Bill Gross

Sue and Bill Gross developed a keen interest in healthcare and stem cell advances at UCI after seeing Hans Keirstead, UCI professor of anatomy & neurobiology and one of the nation’s pioneers in human embryonic stem cell research, on “60 Minutes.” The television news magazine described Keirstead’s use of a treatment derived from human embryonic stem cells to improve mobility in laboratory animals with spinal cord injuries.

The couple toured Keirstead’s lab and later made a $10 million gift to UCI supporting construction of Sue & Bill Gross Stem Hall: A CIRM Institute, which recently celebrated its two-year anniversary.

Bill Gross is co-founder of the Newport Beach-based international investment firm PIMCO. He is one of the world’s most prominent investors, managing nearly $2 trillion, including the largest mutual fund. The author of several books who has appeared globally on television, Gross has 42 years of investment experience and an MBA from the UCLA Anderson School of Management. He received his undergraduate degree from Duke University.

Sue Gross, a twin, was born in Phoenix, attended high school in Chula Vista and graduated from Saddleback College. She married Bill Gross in 1985, and between them, they have three children. She’s president of the Gross Family Foundation, the largest such entity in Orange County.

The couple live in Laguna Beach and are devoted yoga students. Known for their generous gifts to educational and healthcare institutions, the Grosses also fund the annual Orange County Teachers of the Year awards and are the largest donors in history to Doctors Without Borders.

Elizabeth Loftus

Elizabeth Loftus, Ph.D., is renowned for her groundbreaking work on the malleability of human memory. A UCI Distinguished Professor, she holds faculty positions in the schools of Social Ecology, Social Sciences and Law.

Since earning a doctorate in psychology at Stanford University, Loftus has published 22 books (including the award-winning “Eyewitness Testimony”) and 500 scientific articles. Her 30 years of research have focused on the misinformation effect, eyewitness fallibility, and the creation and nature of false memories. Loftus has contributed her expertise to hundreds of high-profile criminal cases, including those of Martha Stewart, the Hillside Strangler, Oliver North, Scooter Libby and Michael Jackson.

Past president of the Association for Psychological Science, she has received six honorary doctorates and been elected to the National Academy of Sciences. In a list of the 100 most eminent psychologists of the 20th century, the journal “Review of General Psychology” placed Loftus at No. 58 – making her the top-ranked woman.

Betty Tu & David Tsoong

Betty Tu, M.D., and David Tsoong, M.D., have supported UCI for more than a decade. The married couple owns Pinnacle Resources International Inc., a holding company focused on international real estate and senior living.

Tu established a private obstetrics-gynecology practice in Anaheim and, until retiring in 2005, was a clinical professor at USC’s Keck School of Medicine. She served as chair and is a member of several committees at the American Congress of Obstetricians & Gynecologists. Tu earned an MBA in 1999 at UCI’s Paul Merage School of Business and in 2007 was honored with its Lauds & Laurels Distinguished Alumni Award.

Tsoong was a surgical intern at UC Irvine Medical Center and, after orthopedic surgical training in New York, returned to Orange County for private practice. He’s a fellow of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and the American College of Surgeons. Tsoong founded and managed Gateway Medical Group, StarCare Medical Group and Pinnacle Health Resources. A former member of UC Irvine Medical Center’s Executive Council, he was on the UC Irvine Foundation’s Board of Ambas-sadors and is currently a trustee serving on the foundation’s Nomination & Board Development Committee.

Tu and Tsoong have served on The Paul Merage School of Business’ Center for Health Care Management & Policy Advisory Board, the Humanities Dean’s Advisory Council, UC Irvine Medical Center’s CEO Advisory Board and the UCI Medal Steering Committee.

The couple made a major gift to help build UC Irvine Douglas Hospital and were honorary co-chairs of “Healing Under the Stars – The 2012 UCI Health Gala.”
