UC San Diego Men’s Baseball Head Coach Eric Newman has spent nearly a decade investing in our scholar-athletes’ path to success. I think the bond I feel to UC San Diego really starts with our scholar-athletes and just how much fun they are to work with every single day. And then there are the people of UC San Diego and just what the institution stands for globally, within our country, and within our state. How excellent the university's reputation is - that excites me and makes it exciting to go to work, to know that beyond just my chosen profession or beyond athletics, that there is some really exciting, magical stuff happening here. Connect with the magic on campus, like Eric, and join UC San Diego’s Back to School Crowdsurf. Be a part of UC San Diego’s story today. https://crowdsurf.ucsd.edu/g/backtoschool
