Stories Worth Celebrating 


UC San Diego Extended Studies’ Dare, Dream, Do Campaign was born from the idea of celebrating the 300,000+ dreamers who are a part of the organization’s 60+ years of history. We are proud of every single one of them and what they’ve achieved. We hope you find inspiration from these stories of people who dared to dream and do. You may just be the next one we feature, with your very own success story to tell.
