Chancellor Celebrates UCSF’s ‘Momentum’ in 2024 State of the University Address

by Eric Brooks

Defined as the product of mass and velocity, “momentum” is derived from physics. It also describes UC San Francisco’s journey in the past decade under Chancellor Sam Hawgood’s leadership. 

“When I delivered my first State of the University address in 2014, I made the case that we were at an inflection point in our history that required thoughtful adaption to future forces reshaping our environment,” Hawgood, MBBS, said in his annual address. “Now, 10 years later, I am even more excited to be your chancellor. I believe the premise of my 2014 address has been borne out.” 

This year’s address celebrated Hawgood’s 10th year as chancellor, a milestone underscored by the progress, innovation and development across the university during his tenure.
