A Conversation with Jolinda Wade

Registration is $25 and includes admission to the lecture, a copy of Jolinda Wade's memoir Conquering Me: A Memoir of Courage, Faith, and Transfomation, and access to the VIP reception.

Inspired by Earl W. Edwards' enduring commitment to scholar-athlete excellence, leadership, and educational advancement, this lectureship examines the role of athletics as a catalyst for dialogue on education, wellness, leadership, and societal impact.

Her story is further illuminated in her recent memoir, Conquering Me: A Memoir of Courage, Faith, and Transfomation, which chronicles her journey through adversity, addiction, faith, and renewal, and offers a powerful extension of the themes she brings to the stage.

Her story offers a compelling perspective on resilience and purpose while inviting audiences to consider how faith, education, athletics, and community support can help individuals rise beyond circumstance and realize their potential.

Ms. Wade's experiences also connect to broader cultural conversatiuons surrounding leadeship, family legacy, public visibility, the influence of athletics in American life, and reflections on parenting, perserverence, and personal growth. Ms. Wade is the proud mother of four children, including Olympic gold medalist and NBA Hall of Famer Dwayne Wade, who also wrote the forward to her latest book.

Presented as part of the UC San Diego Earl W. Edwards Lectureship on Athletics and Society, the lecture advances dialogue at the intersection of athletics, education, wellness, culture, and lifelong learning.

Books will be available for purchaese on-site, and Jolinda Wade will be available followng the moderated dialogue for a post-event book signing and audience engagement opportunity.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.

Thursdays, 6 - 7 pm

July 2: Sun God, Series kickoff with Westwind Brass

As America marks its 250th birthday, Westwind Brass celebrates with Sousa-style marches, beloved folk and hymn tunes, jazz standards, Broadway showstoppers, and Hollywood film scores, all carried unamplified across Niki de Saint Phalle’s radiant Sun God lawn. The professional brass quintet — two trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba — sweeps across the American story, from the concert hall to the silver screen. Think Copland’s wide-open prairie sound and the brassy swagger of big-band jazz. Roughly 60–75 minutes of joyful noise for America’s 250th.

Check out the band in advance: Listen to Westwind Brass

July 9: La Jolla Project, Left Coast Quintet

As dusk settles over the Richard Fleischner’s La Jolla Project, five wind players gather among UC San Diego’s popular outdoor artwork, known as “Stonehenge,” for an evening that spans centuries in a single breath. The Left Coast Quintet — flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon — is one of music’s most eloquent ensembles: five distinct voices, one rich palette of color. Their program moves fluidly from Baroque counterpoint and Classical-era works (the woodwind quintet was born in Mozart’s day) to Romantic showpieces, contemporary discoveries, and imaginative arrangements of jazz and film music. What sets LCQ apart is its blend of warmth, humor, and polish — as at home with a Baroque partita as a film-score medley, and always ready to let the audience in on the fun. About 60 minutes where art, landscape, and music fold into one another.

Check out the band in advance: Listen to Left Coast Quintet on their website

July 16: Bear, Westwind Virtuosi

Westwind Virtuosi returns to the most intimate setting in the series — the Bear courtyard, centered on Tim Hawkinson's massive granite boulder, Bear, also known as "Beryl." Something happens when strings play beside that stone: the granite seems to lean in and listen, holding the sound warm and close. This chamber ensemble — violin, viola, cello, and bass — draws on the heart of the string repertoire, from Haydn and Mozart through the Romantics, favoring lyrical slow movements that reward close listening: the cello’s deep warmth, the violin’s singing upper register, the feel of private conversation between musicians. Expect folk songs, tango, and lighter classics that translate beautifully to strings in the open air.

July 23: Sun God, Manny Cepeda + Westwind Strings & Brass

We’ve never done this before — and that’s exactly the point: For one electrifying hour, strings, brass, and the irresistible Manny Cepeda come together for a brand-new program of salsa, rhythm, and pure Latin joy. Sábor means flavor, and this concert has it in abundance. Cepeda — one of San Diego’s most beloved Latin musicians — leads a combined ensemble of Westwind string and brass players through salsa, cumbia, bolero, and cha-cha: forms rooted in Cuba, Colombia, and Puerto Rico and built on syncopated rhythm and call-and-response. The strings, unusual in a Latin dance band, lend lush warmth beneath the brass’s punch and swagger — the full sound of the great Tito Puente–era orchestras. The Sun God lawn's open footprint gives the music room to move.

July 30: La Jolla Project, Hornswoggle

Thirty French horns gather at dusk at the La Jolla Project— and the results are elemental. Hornswoggle is one of the few ensembles in the country performing at this scale, and the French horn genuinely sounds better outdoors than in any hall. Thirty players spread across the grounds, dispersing the sound so it surrounds you rather than faces you — hunting calls and fanfares dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, hymn-like chorales and folk songs that bloom across horns in unison, and contemporary works written for the spatial possibilities of many horns in open air. Against the backdrop of La Jolla Project, it becomes a glorious, soaring wall of brass rolling into the sky.

August 6: Bear, Chamber Orchestra

The Second Summer with Stuart ends the only way it could — with everyone on stage, Handel in the air, and Bear hearing Water Music for the very first time. Handel wrote Water Music in 1717 to be played outdoors, from a barge on the River Thames for King George I — one of the earliest masterpieces written for the open air. Three hundred years later, the combined forces of our summer series bring it back where it belongs: beside Tim Hawkinson’s granite boulder Bear, under a summer sky. Roughly twenty musicians — strings, brass, and winds drawn from every ensemble of the season, many of them former San Diego Chamber Orchestra players — gather for the full sweep of Handel’s suites: stately overtures, graceful minuets, and spirited hornpipes.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a musical romp through the decades, set in the greatest venue in all of human history: a dive bar. Every era of music that has ever made you lose your mind. Zero time travel protocols.

Dive Bar Time Machine moves through time with the artists who defined it — Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and David Bowie, Donna Summer and The Rolling Stones, Brooks & Dunn and the Black Eyed Peas, and dozens more. Every decade. Every feeling. Every floor that ever made you want to dance.

Every stop on this trip has something in common: someone fell in love, someone found their community, someone raised a glass.

​Dive Bar Time Machine is a love letter to history through music, every room that ever held us, and every person you've ever been glad to be next to when the chorus hit.

Come as you are. You'll want to stay awhile.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a project presented through The Depot Residency Program.

Annual Paper Theatre Festival: It’s the Smallest Show on Earth!

Paper theatre, also known as tabletop or toy theatre, dates back to Victorian-era London. Families would re-enact plays they saw in miniature by cutting and pasting souvenir poster kits purchased from local playhouses. These kits included scenery sheets, costumed paper dolls and condensed scripts. This vintage marketing tool and educational toy is making a comeback!UC San Diego Library plays a featured role in reviving this artful and educational hobby. On display are 25 seasons’ worth of miniature theatrical wonders, showcasing the enthusiastic work of our students, staff, alumni and community members.We are proud to host the oldest continually running paper theatre festival in the United States!An exhibition opening reception is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, showcasing works from Scott Paulson '84, Rachel Almodovar, Elizabeth Hines, Carin Wallace, Anastasia Hunter, Christina Continelli, and visiting artist Nancy So Miller.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

July 2: Sun God, Series kickoff with Westwind Brass

As America marks its 250th birthday, Westwind Brass celebrates with Sousa-style marches, beloved folk and hymn tunes, jazz standards, Broadway showstoppers, and Hollywood film scores, all carried unamplified across Niki de Saint Phalle’s radiant Sun God lawn. The professional brass quintet — two trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba — sweeps across the American story, from the concert hall to the silver screen. Think Copland’s wide-open prairie sound and the brassy swagger of big-band jazz. Roughly 60–75 minutes of joyful noise for America’s 250th.

July 9: La Jolla Project, Left Coast Quintet

As dusk settles over the Richard Fleischner’s La Jolla Project, five wind players gather among UC San Diego’s popular outdoor artwork, known as “Stonehenge,” for an evening that spans centuries in a single breath. The Left Coast Quintet — flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon — is one of music’s most eloquent ensembles: five distinct voices, one rich palette of color. Their program moves fluidly from Baroque counterpoint and Classical-era works (the woodwind quintet was born in Mozart’s day) to Romantic showpieces, contemporary discoveries, and imaginative arrangements of jazz and film music. What sets LCQ apart is its blend of warmth, humor, and polish — as at home with a Baroque partita as a film-score medley, and always ready to let the audience in on the fun. About 60 minutes where art, landscape, and music fold into one another.

July 16: Bear, Westwind Virtuosi

Westwind Virtuosi returns to the most intimate setting in the series — the Bear courtyard, centered on Tim Hawkinson's massive granite boulder, Bear, also known as "Beryl." Something happens when strings play beside that stone: the granite seems to lean in and listen, holding the sound warm and close. This chamber ensemble — violin, viola, cello, and bass — draws on the heart of the string repertoire, from Haydn and Mozart through the Romantics, favoring lyrical slow movements that reward close listening: the cello’s deep warmth, the violin’s singing upper register, the feel of private conversation between musicians. Expect folk songs, tango, and lighter classics that translate beautifully to strings in the open air.

July 23: Sun God, Manny Cepeda + Westwind Strings & Brass

We’ve never done this before — and that’s exactly the point: For one electrifying hour, strings, brass, and the irresistible Manny Cepeda come together for a brand-new program of salsa, rhythm, and pure Latin joy. Sábor means flavor, and this concert has it in abundance. Cepeda — one of San Diego’s most beloved Latin musicians — leads a combined ensemble of Westwind string and brass players through salsa, cumbia, bolero, and cha-cha: forms rooted in Cuba, Colombia, and Puerto Rico and built on syncopated rhythm and call-and-response. The strings, unusual in a Latin dance band, lend lush warmth beneath the brass’s punch and swagger — the full sound of the great Tito Puente–era orchestras. The Sun God lawn's open footprint gives the music room to move.

July 30: La Jolla Project, Hornswoggle

Thirty French horns gather at dusk at the La Jolla Project— and the results are elemental. Hornswoggle is one of the few ensembles in the country performing at this scale, and the French horn genuinely sounds better outdoors than in any hall. Thirty players spread across the grounds, dispersing the sound so it surrounds you rather than faces you — hunting calls and fanfares dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, hymn-like chorales and folk songs that bloom across horns in unison, and contemporary works written for the spatial possibilities of many horns in open air. Against the backdrop of La Jolla Project, it becomes a glorious, soaring wall of brass rolling into the sky.

August 6: Bear, Chamber Orchestra

The Second Summer with Stuart ends the only way it could — with everyone on stage, Handel in the air, and Bear hearing Water Music for the very first time. Handel wrote Water Music in 1717 to be played outdoors, from a barge on the River Thames for King George I — one of the earliest masterpieces written for the open air. Three hundred years later, the combined forces of our summer series bring it back where it belongs: beside Tim Hawkinson’s granite boulder Bear, under a summer sky. Roughly twenty musicians — strings, brass, and winds drawn from every ensemble of the season, many of them former San Diego Chamber Orchestra players — gather for the full sweep of Handel’s suites: stately overtures, graceful minuets, and spirited hornpipes.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a musical romp through the decades, set in the greatest venue in all of human history: a dive bar. Every era of music that has ever made you lose your mind. Zero time travel protocols.

Dive Bar Time Machine moves through time with the artists who defined it — Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and David Bowie, Donna Summer and The Rolling Stones, Brooks & Dunn and the Black Eyed Peas, and dozens more. Every decade. Every feeling. Every floor that ever made you want to dance.

Every stop on this trip has something in common: someone fell in love, someone found their community, someone raised a glass.

​Dive Bar Time Machine is a love letter to history through music, every room that ever held us, and every person you've ever been glad to be next to when the chorus hit.

Come as you are. You'll want to stay awhile.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a project presented through The Depot Residency Program.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a musical romp through the decades, set in the greatest venue in all of human history: a dive bar. Every era of music that has ever made you lose your mind. Zero time travel protocols.

Dive Bar Time Machine moves through time with the artists who defined it — Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and David Bowie, Donna Summer and The Rolling Stones, Brooks & Dunn and the Black Eyed Peas, and dozens more. Every decade. Every feeling. Every floor that ever made you want to dance.

Every stop on this trip has something in common: someone fell in love, someone found their community, someone raised a glass.

​Dive Bar Time Machine is a love letter to history through music, every room that ever held us, and every person you've ever been glad to be next to when the chorus hit.

Come as you are. You'll want to stay awhile.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a project presented through The Depot Residency Program.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a musical romp through the decades, set in the greatest venue in all of human history: a dive bar. Every era of music that has ever made you lose your mind. Zero time travel protocols.

Dive Bar Time Machine moves through time with the artists who defined it — Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and David Bowie, Donna Summer and The Rolling Stones, Brooks & Dunn and the Black Eyed Peas, and dozens more. Every decade. Every feeling. Every floor that ever made you want to dance.

Every stop on this trip has something in common: someone fell in love, someone found their community, someone raised a glass.

​Dive Bar Time Machine is a love letter to history through music, every room that ever held us, and every person you've ever been glad to be next to when the chorus hit.

Come as you are. You'll want to stay awhile.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a project presented through The Depot Residency Program.

Annual Paper Theatre Festival: It’s the Smallest Show on Earth!

Paper theatre, also known as tabletop or toy theatre, dates back to Victorian-era London. Families would re-enact plays they saw in miniature by cutting and pasting souvenir poster kits purchased from local playhouses. These kits included scenery sheets, costumed paper dolls and condensed scripts. This vintage marketing tool and educational toy is making a comeback!UC San Diego Library plays a featured role in reviving this artful and educational hobby. On display are 25 seasons’ worth of miniature theatrical wonders, showcasing the enthusiastic work of our students, staff, alumni and community members.We are proud to host the oldest continually running paper theatre festival in the United States!An exhibition opening reception is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, showcasing works from Scott Paulson '84, Rachel Almodovar, Elizabeth Hines, Carin Wallace, Anastasia Hunter, Christina Continelli, and visiting artist Nancy So Miller.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.

July 2: Sun God, Series kickoff with Westwind Brass

As America marks its 250th birthday, Westwind Brass celebrates with Sousa-style marches, beloved folk and hymn tunes, jazz standards, Broadway showstoppers, and Hollywood film scores, all carried unamplified across Niki de Saint Phalle’s radiant Sun God lawn. The professional brass quintet — two trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba — sweeps across the American story, from the concert hall to the silver screen. Think Copland’s wide-open prairie sound and the brassy swagger of big-band jazz. Roughly 60–75 minutes of joyful noise for America’s 250th.

July 9: La Jolla Project, Left Coast Quintet

As dusk settles over the Richard Fleischner’s La Jolla Project, five wind players gather among UC San Diego’s popular outdoor artwork, known as “Stonehenge,” for an evening that spans centuries in a single breath. The Left Coast Quintet — flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon — is one of music’s most eloquent ensembles: five distinct voices, one rich palette of color. Their program moves fluidly from Baroque counterpoint and Classical-era works (the woodwind quintet was born in Mozart’s day) to Romantic showpieces, contemporary discoveries, and imaginative arrangements of jazz and film music. What sets LCQ apart is its blend of warmth, humor, and polish — as at home with a Baroque partita as a film-score medley, and always ready to let the audience in on the fun. About 60 minutes where art, landscape, and music fold into one another.

July 16: Bear, Westwind Virtuosi

Westwind Virtuosi returns to the most intimate setting in the series — the Bear courtyard, centered on Tim Hawkinson's massive granite boulder, Bear, also known as "Beryl." Something happens when strings play beside that stone: the granite seems to lean in and listen, holding the sound warm and close. This chamber ensemble — violin, viola, cello, and bass — draws on the heart of the string repertoire, from Haydn and Mozart through the Romantics, favoring lyrical slow movements that reward close listening: the cello’s deep warmth, the violin’s singing upper register, the feel of private conversation between musicians. Expect folk songs, tango, and lighter classics that translate beautifully to strings in the open air.

July 23: Sun God, Manny Cepeda + Westwind Strings & Brass

We’ve never done this before — and that’s exactly the point: For one electrifying hour, strings, brass, and the irresistible Manny Cepeda come together for a brand-new program of salsa, rhythm, and pure Latin joy. Sábor means flavor, and this concert has it in abundance. Cepeda — one of San Diego’s most beloved Latin musicians — leads a combined ensemble of Westwind string and brass players through salsa, cumbia, bolero, and cha-cha: forms rooted in Cuba, Colombia, and Puerto Rico and built on syncopated rhythm and call-and-response. The strings, unusual in a Latin dance band, lend lush warmth beneath the brass’s punch and swagger — the full sound of the great Tito Puente–era orchestras. The Sun God lawn's open footprint gives the music room to move.

July 30: La Jolla Project, Hornswoggle

Thirty French horns gather at dusk at the La Jolla Project— and the results are elemental. Hornswoggle is one of the few ensembles in the country performing at this scale, and the French horn genuinely sounds better outdoors than in any hall. Thirty players spread across the grounds, dispersing the sound so it surrounds you rather than faces you — hunting calls and fanfares dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, hymn-like chorales and folk songs that bloom across horns in unison, and contemporary works written for the spatial possibilities of many horns in open air. Against the backdrop of La Jolla Project, it becomes a glorious, soaring wall of brass rolling into the sky.

August 6: Bear, Chamber Orchestra

The Second Summer with Stuart ends the only way it could — with everyone on stage, Handel in the air, and Bear hearing Water Music for the very first time. Handel wrote Water Music in 1717 to be played outdoors, from a barge on the River Thames for King George I — one of the earliest masterpieces written for the open air. Three hundred years later, the combined forces of our summer series bring it back where it belongs: beside Tim Hawkinson’s granite boulder Bear, under a summer sky. Roughly twenty musicians — strings, brass, and winds drawn from every ensemble of the season, many of them former San Diego Chamber Orchestra players — gather for the full sweep of Handel’s suites: stately overtures, graceful minuets, and spirited hornpipes.

Stuart Collection:

The Stuart Collection at the University of California, San Diego – comprised of 22 permanent artworks by world-renowned artists, and growing – aims to question conventional understandings of public art in playful and insightful ways through our commissioning programs, and seeks to enrich the cultural, intellectual, and scholarly life of the UC San Diego campus and local San Diego community. We enhance public life through art that encourages thoughtful deliberation, an awareness of difference, mental and physical wellbeing, and that inspires creative solutions to complex issues; and continue to commission exciting new works from the world’s most important contemporary artists through our Landmarks, Emerging Artists and Public Programs.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a musical romp through the decades, set in the greatest venue in all of human history: a dive bar. Every era of music that has ever made you lose your mind. Zero time travel protocols.

Dive Bar Time Machine moves through time with the artists who defined it — Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and David Bowie, Donna Summer and The Rolling Stones, Brooks & Dunn and the Black Eyed Peas, and dozens more. Every decade. Every feeling. Every floor that ever made you want to dance.

Every stop on this trip has something in common: someone fell in love, someone found their community, someone raised a glass.

​Dive Bar Time Machine is a love letter to history through music, every room that ever held us, and every person you've ever been glad to be next to when the chorus hit.

Come as you are. You'll want to stay awhile.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a project presented through The Depot Residency Program.

Surrealist blues poet aja monet shares music from her acclaimed new album, the color of rain. Blending poetry, jazz, soul, blues, and hip hop, monet weaves together spoken word and song in work that explores themes of love, memory, resistance, and joy.

Opening the program are Josh Lane of Thee Sacred Souls and Def Sound, whose genre-blurring work helps set the stage for an unforgettable night of poetry, music, and storytelling.

Annual Paper Theatre Festival: It’s the Smallest Show on Earth!

These kits included scenery sheets, costumed paper dolls and condensed scripts. This vintage marketing tool and educational toy is making a comeback!UC San Diego Library plays a featured role in reviving this artful and educational hobby. On display are 25 seasons’ worth of miniature theatrical wonders, showcasing the enthusiastic work of our students, staff, alumni and community members.We are proud to host the oldest continually running paper theatre festival in the United States!An exhibition opening reception is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, showcasing works from Scott Paulson '84, Rachel Almodovar, Elizabeth Hines, Carin Wallace, Anastasia Hunter, Christina Continelli, and visiting artist Nancy So Miller.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Thursdays, 6 - 7 pm

July 2: Sun God, Series kickoff with Westwind Brass

As America marks its 250th birthday, Westwind Brass celebrates with Sousa-style marches, beloved folk and hymn tunes, jazz standards, Broadway showstoppers, and Hollywood film scores, all carried unamplified across Niki de Saint Phalle’s radiant Sun God lawn. The professional brass quintet — two trumpets, French horn, trombone, and tuba — sweeps across the American story, from the concert hall to the silver screen. Think Copland’s wide-open prairie sound and the brassy swagger of big-band jazz. Roughly 60–75 minutes of joyful noise for America’s 250th.

Check out the band in advance: Listen to Westwind Brass

July 9: La Jolla Project, Left Coast Quintet

As dusk settles over the Richard Fleischner’s La Jolla Project, five wind players gather among UC San Diego’s popular outdoor artwork, known as “Stonehenge,” for an evening that spans centuries in a single breath. The Left Coast Quintet — flute, oboe, clarinet, French horn, and bassoon — is one of music’s most eloquent ensembles: five distinct voices, one rich palette of color. Their program moves fluidly from Baroque counterpoint and Classical-era works (the woodwind quintet was born in Mozart’s day) to Romantic showpieces, contemporary discoveries, and imaginative arrangements of jazz and film music. What sets LCQ apart is its blend of warmth, humor, and polish — as at home with a Baroque partita as a film-score medley, and always ready to let the audience in on the fun. About 60 minutes where art, landscape, and music fold into one another.

July 16: Bear, Westwind Virtuosi

Westwind Virtuosi returns to the most intimate setting in the series — the Bear courtyard, centered on Tim Hawkinson's massive granite boulder, Bear, also known as "Beryl." Something happens when strings play beside that stone: the granite seems to lean in and listen, holding the sound warm and close. This chamber ensemble — violin, viola, cello, and bass — draws on the heart of the string repertoire, from Haydn and Mozart through the Romantics, favoring lyrical slow movements that reward close listening: the cello’s deep warmth, the violin’s singing upper register, the feel of private conversation between musicians. Expect folk songs, tango, and lighter classics that translate beautifully to strings in the open air.

July 23: Sun God, Manny Cepeda + Westwind Strings & Brass

We’ve never done this before — and that’s exactly the point: For one electrifying hour, strings, brass, and the irresistible Manny Cepeda come together for a brand-new program of salsa, rhythm, and pure Latin joy. Sábor means flavor, and this concert has it in abundance. Cepeda — one of San Diego’s most beloved Latin musicians — leads a combined ensemble of Westwind string and brass players through salsa, cumbia, bolero, and cha-cha: forms rooted in Cuba, Colombia, and Puerto Rico and built on syncopated rhythm and call-and-response. The strings, unusual in a Latin dance band, lend lush warmth beneath the brass’s punch and swagger — the full sound of the great Tito Puente–era orchestras. The Sun God lawn's open footprint gives the music room to move.

July 30: La Jolla Project, Hornswoggle

Thirty French horns gather at dusk at the La Jolla Project— and the results are elemental. Hornswoggle is one of the few ensembles in the country performing at this scale, and the French horn genuinely sounds better outdoors than in any hall. Thirty players spread across the grounds, dispersing the sound so it surrounds you rather than faces you — hunting calls and fanfares dating to the 17th and 18th centuries, hymn-like chorales and folk songs that bloom across horns in unison, and contemporary works written for the spatial possibilities of many horns in open air. Against the backdrop of La Jolla Project, it becomes a glorious, soaring wall of brass rolling into the sky.

August 6: Bear, Chamber Orchestra

The Second Summer with Stuart ends the only way it could — with everyone on stage, Handel in the air, and Bear hearing Water Music for the very first time. Handel wrote Water Music in 1717 to be played outdoors, from a barge on the River Thames for King George I — one of the earliest masterpieces written for the open air. Three hundred years later, the combined forces of our summer series bring it back where it belongs: beside Tim Hawkinson’s granite boulder Bear, under a summer sky. Roughly twenty musicians — strings, brass, and winds drawn from every ensemble of the season, many of them former San Diego Chamber Orchestra players — gather for the full sweep of Handel’s suites: stately overtures, graceful minuets, and spirited hornpipes.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a musical romp through the decades, set in the greatest venue in all of human history: a dive bar. Every era of music that has ever made you lose your mind. Zero time travel protocols.

Dive Bar Time Machine moves through time with the artists who defined it — Frank Sinatra and Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin and David Bowie, Donna Summer and The Rolling Stones, Brooks & Dunn and the Black Eyed Peas, and dozens more. Every decade. Every feeling. Every floor that ever made you want to dance.

Every stop on this trip has something in common: someone fell in love, someone found their community, someone raised a glass.

​Dive Bar Time Machine is a love letter to history through music, every room that ever held us, and every person you've ever been glad to be next to when the chorus hit.

Come as you are. You'll want to stay awhile.

Dive Bar Time Machine is a project presented through The Depot Residency Program.

Annual Paper Theatre Festival: It’s the Smallest Show on Earth!

Paper theatre, also known as tabletop or toy theatre, dates back to Victorian-era London. Families would re-enact plays they saw in miniature by cutting and pasting souvenir poster kits purchased from local playhouses. These kits included scenery sheets, costumed paper dolls and condensed scripts. This vintage marketing tool and educational toy is making a comeback!UC San Diego Library plays a featured role in reviving this artful and educational hobby. On display are 25 seasons’ worth of miniature theatrical wonders, showcasing the enthusiastic work of our students, staff, alumni and community members.We are proud to host the oldest continually running paper theatre festival in the United States!An exhibition opening reception is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, showcasing works from Scott Paulson '84, Rachel Almodovar, Elizabeth Hines, Carin Wallace, Anastasia Hunter, Christina Continelli, and visiting artist Nancy So Miller.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Created by Latin Grammy–nominated choreographer Siudy Garrido and award-winning composer and guitarist José Luis de la Paz, Flamenco Íntimo draws from traditional flamenco forms while embracing a contemporary vision. Combining dance and live music, the work explores the rhythm, artistry, and emotional depth that have made flamenco one of the world’s most enduring art forms.

Recognized as one of the leading voices shaping flamenco today, Garrido brings together an ensemble of dancers and musicians for an evening of movement, live music, and emotion. Flamenco Íntimo offers an opportunity to experience this tradition through the lens of an artist redefining its possibilities.

In collaboration with Flamenco Arts Festival Santa Barbara.

Annual Paper Theatre Festival: It’s the Smallest Show on Earth!

Paper theatre, also known as tabletop or toy theatre, dates back to Victorian-era London. Families would re-enact plays they saw in miniature by cutting and pasting souvenir poster kits purchased from local playhouses. These kits included scenery sheets, costumed paper dolls and condensed scripts. This vintage marketing tool and educational toy is making a comeback!UC San Diego Library plays a featured role in reviving this artful and educational hobby. On display are 25 seasons’ worth of miniature theatrical wonders, showcasing the enthusiastic work of our students, staff, alumni and community members.We are proud to host the oldest continually running paper theatre festival in the United States!An exhibition opening reception is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, showcasing works from Scott Paulson '84, Rachel Almodovar, Elizabeth Hines, Carin Wallace, Anastasia Hunter, Christina Continelli, and visiting artist Nancy So Miller.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.

Born from a shared studio session, the collaboration is shaped by movement, place, and personal history. The result is a musical world where atmosphere, rhythm, and storytelling converge, inviting listeners to experience a new creative partnership.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

In this second part of our series on Batch Computing, we will introduce you to the concept of a distributed batch job scheduler — what they are, why they exist, and how they work — using the Slurm Workload Manager as our reference implementation and testbed. You will then learn how to write your first job script and submit it to an HPC System running Slurm as its scheduler. We will also discuss the best practices for how to structure your batch job scripts, teach you how to leverage Slurm environment variables, and provide tips on how to request resources from the scheduler to get your work done faster.

To complete the exercises covered in Part II, you will need access to an HPC system running the Slurm Workload Manager as its batch job scheduler.

Annual Paper Theatre Festival: It’s the Smallest Show on Earth!

Paper theatre, also known as tabletop or toy theatre, dates back to Victorian-era London. Families would re-enact plays they saw in miniature by cutting and pasting souvenir poster kits purchased from local playhouses. These kits included scenery sheets, costumed paper dolls and condensed scripts. This vintage marketing tool and educational toy is making a comeback!UC San Diego Library plays a featured role in reviving this artful and educational hobby. On display are 25 seasons’ worth of miniature theatrical wonders, showcasing the enthusiastic work of our students, staff, alumni and community members.We are proud to host the oldest continually running paper theatre festival in the United States!An exhibition opening reception is scheduled for Tuesday, July 14, showcasing works from Scott Paulson '84, Rachel Almodovar, Elizabeth Hines, Carin Wallace, Anastasia Hunter, Christina Continelli, and visiting artist Nancy So Miller.

Explore comics, graphic novels and memoirs from UC San Diego Library's Graphic Medicine Collection: vividly drawn, personal stories about the experience of facing illness and finding care.

In these pages, a single drawing can capture what's hard to put into words, sharing insights we can see and feel. We can learn from those who've faced health challenges and witness how they found their way through.

Comics of Care is presented in connection with The Science of Story, a signature celebration of storytelling across UC San Diego. Returning for a third year during Comic-Con week, this series explores the art, craft and cultural power of narrative.

In joining that conversation, this book exhibit shows how art and stories can help us heal — by letting us into another person's experience of illness and recovery.

We hope these works deepen empathy for health struggles and spark discussion among patients, caregivers and clinicians who want to improve care. This collection was curated by UC San Diego librarians Jeffery Loo, Karen Heskett and Zemirah Ngow.

Comics of Care is on view in the Sally T. WongAvery Library breezeway from June 29 to September 13, during the building's open hours.

Located on the 2nd (main) Floor in the Exhibition Gallery and the adjacent hallway (towards Geisel Southwest), Dr. Seuss’s Boids & Beasties includes original drawings by Geisel — a long-time resident of La Jolla — and showcases his whimsical and fantastical creatures and creative talent. “Boids & Beasties” is Geisel’s own term for his fantastical creatures.

Dr. Seuss books have entertained and educated for more than half a century. In fabricating tales and bringing fantastic creatures to life in the imaginations of young and old alike, he has given us the likes of the Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, Yertle the Turtle, the Grinch, and the Lorax; we now have places to go like Solla Sollew, Who-ville and Sala-ma-Sond. His style of flamboyant, colorful illustrations, surreal surroundings, and clever yet simple rhymes have made his work recognizable throughout the world. These creations are fun, but with a serious purpose. They teach reading, self-confidence, and the wonderful possibilities of our imaginations.

Dr. Seuss's Boids & Beasties is on view at Geisel Library in the Exhibition Gallery on the 2nd (main) Floor during the building's open hours.
