This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UCSD chapter.

 

We all know that UCSD has amazing alumni that contribute to making our world a better place. However, did you know that our previous Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affiairs graduated from UCSD with a certificate in music and political philosophy? Kurt M. Campbell served our country until February 8, 2013 under the Obama administration. Previous to serving as our Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, he was the Chief Executive Officer and the co-founder of the Center for a New American Security (CNAS). It is amazing how our major doesn’t determine our future careers! UCSD produces amazing individuals and will continue to develop students into amazing beings. We are proud to be Tritons!
