On Oct. 26, elected officials, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, community members and donors broke ground with shovels, enjoyed a catered lunch and reflected on the significance of the project at UCSF.
On Oct. 27, members of campus and community at large gathered for a festival featuring food, live entertainment and games.
