Slideshow: Seen Around Campus in 2018
From the classroom to the laboratory to our health clinics, UC San Francisco was a bustling place in 2018. But most of what occurs day-to-day happens behind closed doors, out of sight.
To close out 2018, we gathered a collection of Seen Around Campus photos to pull back the curtain and give you a glimpse of life across UCSF from the past year.
