It was all smiles at the annual Summer Send-Off Picnic on Sunday at UCSD as new students from the San Diego area mingled and got the inside scoop about the university from alumni. Chancellor Marye Anne Fox, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs Penny Rue, and Armin Afsahi, '90, executive director of the UCSD Alumni Association, were joined by new students, such as Revelle College freshmen Axel Gonzales. Gonzales, a biochemistry major who plans on attending medical school, attended the picnic with mom, his grandparents and great aunt. Gonzales is from San Ysidro and graduated as valedictorian from Mater Dei Catholic High School in Chula Vista. He chose UCSD over Cal, UC Santa Barbara, and UCLA. Nice.
